Thanks,

however that removes all 0s even the legitimate ones that should be there.

I think i figured out something that will work, I'm thinking if i use the countifs function combined with my formula above it will work to not include a 0 if there is no entry for that month.


=IF(COUNTIFS(INDEX('Raw Data'!$1:$1048576, 0, MATCH(Table!$A$8, 'Raw Data'!$1:$1, 0)), Table!$A$9, INDEX('Raw Data'!$1:$1048576, 0, MATCH(Table!$B$8, 'Raw Data'!$1:$1, 0)), TEXT(Table!C$8, "yyyymm"))=0, "", SUMIFS(INDEX('Raw Data'!$1:$1048576, 0, MATCH(Table!$B9, 'Raw Data'!$1:$1, 0)), INDEX('Raw Data'!$1:$1048576, 0, MATCH(Table!$A$8, 'Raw Data'!$1:$1, 0)), Table!$A$9, INDEX('Raw Data'!$1:$1048576, 0, MATCH(Table!$B$8, 'Raw Data'!$1:$1, 0)), TEXT(Table!C$8, "yyyymm")))


Checked it all out, seems to work, i'm gonna leave this as unsolved for the moment because i'd like to see if anyone has a shorter or better more elegant solution to it, if it works when i put it in at work next week i'll mark it as solved.

attached is my updated workbook with the solution if anyone cares.

Here is a potentially easier solution, where everything in [] gets replaced by your specific ranges and criteria cell names:

=IF(COUNTIF([criteria range], [criteria])>0, SUMIFS([sum range], [criteria range], [criteria]), "")

example: =IF(COUNTIF(H:H, A2)>0, SUMIFS(I:I, H:H, A2), "")

This will give you back a blank whenever there isn't a data match to sum, and will help you avoid false zeros.

The logic here is IF count finds at least one match, THEN add up the items with a match, ELSE return a blank.
