Granted, I have found several formulae that are meant to solve this sort of problem, but as much as I fiddle with it to match my context I can't seem to get an elegant solution. Nor any solution, actually.
Consider five columns:
Name |
# |
Type |
Value |
Activation |
James |
0 |
type1 |
200 |
1 |
James |
1 |
type3 |
2 |
0 |
James |
2 |
type1 |
400 |
0 |
James |
3 |
type2 |
40 |
1 |
John |
0 |
type1 |
200 |
1 |
John |
4 |
type3 |
4 |
1 |
John |
2 |
type1 |
400 |
1 |
Caitlin |
3 |
type2 |
40 |
1 |
Caitlin |
5 |
type1 |
200 |
1 |
The "Name" column isn't really relevant, but it illustrates why I don't have unique values for column "#". Of the values in the "Value" column, I want to sum those that meet the following criteria:
1. "Type" = type1
2. "Activation" = 1
3. The value in "#" is unique (i.e. no double addition).
So only the second, eighth and tenth rows satisfy the above, returning a sum of 800. Obviously, I'd like the formula to work for a range of values, specifically {type1, type2, ... , typen} for "Type" and {0,1} for "Activation." As long as values with the same "#" aren't summed twice then I'm happy. Until I ran into the double-addition issue I was using this formula, seemingly successfully:
=SUMIFS(Value,Type,"type1",Activation,1)
I've posted this same question here and here. Help would be appreciated.
