My sample sheet is probably easier to understand than my writing but here's the issue: I have a sheet that I'm trying to create a spill formula that sums an array of numbers up in each line.
Columns B:D is my existing data that's being evaluated
If values exist in Column D (which is not always the case), split values (defined by , ) and lookup each one's most recent entry (column B) and sum its value from column C with other members in same cell.
I can accomplish this using the Reduce formula shown in my sample data in blue column F, and dragging the formula to the latest entry, however it will not spill down dynamically.
=iferror(REDUCE(0,SPLIT(D2,",",false),lambda(total,value,xlookup(value,B:B,C:C,"",0,-1)+total)),0)
I can get the C values to spill down dynamically (as shown in green columns in sample) as numeric values, but I can't figure out how to sum them.
=Filter(iferror(XLOOKUP(SPLIT(D2:D,", ",false),B:B,C:C,"",0,-1),0),A2:A>0)
I would have expected something like either of these to work, but both generate a #N/A
=Filter(iferror(REDUCE(0,SPLIT(D2:D,", ",false),
lambda(total,value,xlookup(value,B:B,C:C,"",0,-1)+total)),0),A2:A>0)
=Filter(sum(iferror(XLOOKUP(SPLIT(D2:D,", ",false),B:B,C:C,"",0,-1),0)),A2:A>0)
I've also tried these as named functions with only the spilled variables as input, but same result.
I know the reduce function can perform a spilled range, as shown here on Ben Collins' site, however I can't figure out how to get it to do so with my dataset. It's occurred to me that because I'm generating a horizontal array, a verticle array may not be possible?
Any helpful answers will be upvoted if not accepted. Thanks.
Here's one approach:
=byrow(index(map(iferror(split(D2:index(D:D,match(2,1/(D:D<>""))),", ",0,1)),lambda(z,xlookup(z,B:B,C:C,)))),lambda(y,sum(y)))
To have your formula spill down you can use MAP or BYROW:
Your formula:
=iferror(REDUCE(0,SPLIT(D2,", ",false),lambda(total,value,xlookup(value,B:B,C:C,"",0,-1)+total)),0)
With MAP:
=MAP(D2:D7,LAMBDA(ζ,iferror(REDUCE(0,SPLIT(ζ,", ",false),lambda(total,value,xlookup(value,B:B,C:C,"",0,-1)+total)),0)))
Here's another solution using FILTER:
=MAP(D2:INDEX(D:D,MAX(ROW(D:D)*(D:D<>""))),LAMBDA(ζ,IFNA(SUM(FILTER(C:C,COUNTIF(SPLIT(ζ,", ",),B:B))),0)))

I am using Office 365 currently and I want to make a visualization tools using MAKEARRAY functions.
For example, if I want to display sequential of 32 items, I would display it in this way:
I use the following formula of Makearray to generate the custom array for me
Note: Formula is pasted at cell value F3 .
=MAKEARRAY(ROUNDUP(B2/B3,0),IF(E3#=ROUNDUP(B2/B3,0),MOD(B2,B3),B3),LAMBDA(row,col,"O"))
but it seems like after debugging, this part of the formula are giving it the problem are these
IF(E3#=ROUNDUP(B2/B3,0),MOD(B2,B3),B3)
as I debugging the formula separately as shown in picture below, it can generate the correct amount of columns as it is supposed to.
Note: Generate exactly same amount to the no of columns if row number is not matching;
Generate modulus remainder formula if row number is matching to roundup of no. of items divided by no. of columns.
But in the end, I put that problematic formula back into the MAKEARRAY function just give only a single columns, which seems like it is quite wrong.
May I know why it display single columns even though by right, it should display the correct amount of no. of columns?
What about:
Formula in C1:
=WRAPROWS(INDEX("O",SEQUENCE(A1,,,0)),A2,"")
Or rather:
=WRAPROWS(EXPAND("O",A1,,"O"),A2,"")
MAKEARRAY does not expect an array in the number of columns. It is a set number. It will iterate the number of rows and number of columns to create the array. It will always be square and not jagged.
So you need to do the math to change the value:
=MAKEARRAY(ROUNDUP(B2/B3,0),B3,LAMBDA(rw,clm,IF(10*(rw-1)+clm>B2,"","O")))
Now as soon as the space is greater than the 32 it puts in "" instead of "O"
A truncated version of my data is in the form shown in the screenshot below: three columns of 5 unique names. The names appear in any order and in any position but never repeat in a single row.
My goal is to create an array that contains the number of times Adam appears in each row. I can fill down the formula=countif(A2:C2,$I$2) in a new column, or if I write the array manually for each row, it looks like:
={countif(A2:C2,$I$2);countif(A3:C3,$I$2);countif(A4:C4,$I$2);countif(A5:C5,$I$2);countif(A6:C6,$I$2)}
Where cell I2 contains "Adam". Of course, this is not feasible for large data sets.
I know that arrays are effectively cells turned into ranges, but my main issue is that the cell I'm trying to transform already references a range, and I don't know how to tell the software to apply the countif down each row (i.e. I intuitively would like to do something like countif((A2:C2):(A99:C99),"Adam") but understand that's not how spreadsheets work).
My goal is ultimately to perform some operations on the corresponding array but I think I'm comfortable enough with that once I can get the array formula I'm looking for.
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A2:A="",,MMULT(IF(A2:C="Adam", 1, 0), {1;1;1})))
I've got a bigger table with one column that I want to focus on, containing designation and a number. I want to simply sum the numbers that meet the criteria based on a designation.
For the simplification, I made an exercising sheet (on the pic) where I split second column into two - one string and one numeric. Since my file is quite large with many columns that would need this it would be inconvenient.
In the left column it's easy to solve the problem, it could be even easier with simple SUMIF function, but an array SUM(IF... function is, at least I think, only viable option here.
So I solved the first table with array function, but what confuses me is how to modulate the TRUE statement. Simple replacement of C:C
with
VALUE(MID(F:F;4;4))
which would format my cells to get the numbers from string does not work that way - returns zero in E12 field. F12 is just application of string to number for last cell, F10.
THIS formula does not work, even adapting to different versions of the tool.
I could use VB but if possible anyhow I would like to avoid it since parts will be shared on mobile phones.
Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
Left table was split, right original format
The array formula which you used can be replaced by the SumIf formula like below...
=SUMIF(B:B,"B",C:C)
Also without the helper column, you can use the Sumproduct formula to achieve the desired output.
But don't refer the whole column in the formula like in the above SumIf formula.
Try this..
=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B10="B")*MID(F1:F10,FIND(",",F1:F10)+1,255)*1)
Change the ranges as per your requirement but remember to make them equal in size.
As shown in the attached image, I need to convert A2:D10 to the format of A12:E17. The 4 tables from F1 to AB12 are my experiments using if, match, and index. Same formula gets different results and it seems to be dependent on the row position of the tables. In My previous question, I was trying to pinpoint the problem to the if function.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Lu

Again, as I said in your last question: The formula has not been array entered. Array formulas need to be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.
Without that, the first array in the IF statement does not get resolved and the Match does not return the correct result.
Make use of the Evaluate Formula tool and step through the formula.
The merged cells don't help with the cell referencing. Unmerge the cells and fill in all the labels in row 1, then use this slightly amended formula and confirm it with Ctrl-Shift-Enter. Then copy across and down.
I hope that I get the English names of the functions right:
In D14 and following cells:
=INDEX($C$1:$C$5;MATCH(1;MMULT(($B$3:$B$10=$A14)*($A$3:$A$10=B$13);1);0))
The MATCH function tells which value (by number counted from the top) matches both conditions. The INDEX function returns this value from C1:C5.
I'll try to explain the problem I'm facing best as I can.
A have a set of data that contains multiple duplicates extracted as an excel file. Within this data are "keys" that I want to use to filter out relevant data from another workbook.
I start by removing duplicates from the list of keywords and I think I got this working kind of satisfactory. I then try to extract and calculate the minimum from the values using the following array formula:
=MIN(VLOOKUP(Blad1!D2:D8,Blad2!A3:D9,2))
However, this doesn't work as expected. The value returns the minimum value from the target range, but seems to ignore the provided keywords. Instead it simply finds the minimum value of the entire range.
I am far from a professional when it comes to excel so any suggestions on how this could be done in a more efficient way are welcome.
Here is a link to a sample document.
These array formulas should be what you need.
'MINIF in F2,
=MIN(IF(COUNTIF($D$2:$D$8, Blad2!$A$2:$A$9&""), Blad2!$B$2:$B$9))
'MAXIF in G2
=MAX(IF(COUNTIF($D$2:$D$8, Blad2!$A$2:$A$9&""), Blad2!$C$2:$C$9))
'AVERAGEIF¹ in H2
=AVERAGE(IF(COUNTIF($D$2:$D$8, Blad2!$A$2:$A$9&""), Blad2!$D$2:$D$9))
Array formulas need to be finalized with Ctrl+Shift+Enter↵.
Try and reduce your full-column references to ranges more closely representing the extents of your actual data. Array formulas chew up calculation cycles logarithmically so it is good practise to narrow the referenced ranges to a minimum.
The results are 15, 35 and 23.6.
¹Note that this is NOT the native AVERAGEIF function or AVERAGEIFS function but an array formula. This approach was chosen due to the large number of criteria.
