How to "Hlookup an array" with a formula - arrays

I'm trying to perform a sumproduct function on two arrays. I'd like to find a way of asking excel to select the first array if the column match a certain value.
In my simplified case if the value is "1" pick the first array and perform sumproduct with the array below A ...something that prevent me from spending the day nesting if (obviously a formula like =SUMPRODUCT(IF(O4=1;F4:F8;IF(O4=2;G4:G8;IF(O4=3;H4:H8;IF(O4=4;I4:I8))));L4:L8) works but in my real case is no use)

=SUMPRODUCT((O4=$F$4:$I$4)*$F$4:$I$8*$L$4:$L$8)

How to concatenate multiple ranges within a Match function

I have a list of values that I would like to match against the combination of multiple ranges.
So, for example, my ranges are A1:A100 and B1:B100.
Instead of concatenating A with B in a new column C, i.e.
CONCAT(A1,B1)...CONCAT(A100,B100)
and then matching my value against that new column - I would like to do something like this:
MATCH(value,CONCATENATE(A1:B100),0)
And copy this down a column near my list of values.
I have a feeling this can be done with some sort of array formula...
Yes as an array formula:
=MATCH(value,$A$1:$A$100 & $B$1:$B$100,0)
Being an array formula it must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.
Though they may seem similar in approach they are not. CONCATENATE will return a string not an array to the MATCH with all 200 values in one long string. Where the above will return 100 values, each row concatenated, as an array which can be used to search.
One further note, If performance becomes a issue, Array formulas are inherently slower, adding the helper column and using a regular MATCH will improve the responsiveness.
This should work, basically you just need to concatenate it yourself using &
=MATCH(D1,A1:A10&B1:B10,0)
D1 is the value you're trying to look for.
This is an array, so remember to hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter when you input it.

Excel SUM of SUMIF/SUMIFS with dynamic multiple criteria

I need to pass a multiple criteria list (a constant array) via cell reference rather than hard-typing it into my formula.
So, instead of this:
=SUM(SUMIFS(sum_range,criteria_range,{"red","blue"}))
But I would need to use this:
=SUM(SUMIFS(sum_range,criteria_range,$A1)) where $A1 is {"red","blue"}
I understand that one can use a range of cells to pass an array but I really need my condition to come from a single cell.
It seems that passing a constant array via cell reference only passes the first element to the formula (i.e. only "red" is used as a condition) and all the working examples I could find of this (here or here) are hard-typing the condition into the formula.
Any luck anybody ?
EDIT: I should add that my data set includes blank rows so it is not contiguous and in general, I'm looking for a not too convoluted solution that will work most of the time and with as little restrictions and caveats as possible.
Change the "Array" in A1 to a comma delineated list:
blue,purple
No quotes or {}
Change the SUM to SUMPRODUCT and use this as the criteria:
TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",REPT(" ",99)),(ROW(INDEX(AAA:AAA,1):INDEX(AAA:AAA,LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))+1))-1)*99+1,99))
The $20 should be placed at the max number of choices possible. I just used it here as a placeholder, it can be more without problem but not less or it will skip any more than that.
Based on the formula you provided.
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS(W$12:W$448,$I$12:$I$448,$I474,$J$12:$J$448,$J474,$K$12:$K$448,TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",REPT(" ",99)),(ROW(INDEX(AAA:AAA,1):INDEX(AAA:AAA,LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))+1))-1)*99+1,99))))
With cell A1 containing {"red","blue"} I then setup a named range Condition to which I assigned =EVALUATE($A1) and now I can pass my condition like so:
=SUM(SUMIFS(W$12:W$448,$I$12:$I$448,$I474,$J$12:$J$448,$J474,$K$12:$K$448,Condition))

Excel array countif formula

I want to use COUNTIF function to evaluate how many items out of 2,0,0,5 are greater than 2? In Countif function, first argument is range and second is criteria. I have tried the below formula. Even tried using Ctrl+Shift+Enter at the end to evaluate. But doesn't seem to work.
=COUNTIF({"2","0","0","5"},">2")
COUNTIF doesn't accept array constants (as far as I know). Try this:
=SUMPRODUCT(--({2,0,0,5}>2))
You could also create a countif-style formula like this (the combination ctrl+shift+enter):
=COUNT(IF({2,0,0,5}>2,1,""))

Array vs Range
Some functions like Offset, SumIf, CountIf, SumIfs, and CountIfs are designed to operate only on (multi-cell) range objects. Sum, SumProduct, Frequency, Linest, lookup functions, etc. take both range and array objects.
Array means: {2,0,0,5}
Range means:
To use countif, you have to use range in cells, defining the array in the formula on the go will not work.
=COUNTIF(A1:A4,">"&2)
I know this thread is a few years old, but I ended up here with a similar problem (how to use arrays, not ranges, with countif).
Although my end goal was a little different (I wanted to find items common to two arrays), I figure the workaround I came up with might be useful for others: I ended up using the "match" function coupled with "isnumber". The formula looked like this:
=isnumber(match({a},{b},0))
this will return an array of true/false which corresponds to the values in {a} that are also in {b}. In case it wasn't clear, {a} and {b} are arrays...

SUM with IF conditions for cells containing both strings and numbers

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.

Excel array sum with multiple conditions based on named range

I have an array formula that looks like this:
{=SUMIF(C11:C23,budgets,F11:F23)}
What I want it to do is sum cells F11:F23 where cells C11:C23 are values within the named range budgets.
Right now budgets has two values: 10361 and 10300 (these are transaction codes). However, the formula seems to only work for the first code 10361 but not for the second one.
I don't want to use SUMIFS because I have multiple worksheets where I would like this array formula to work, and the codes may change so changing them in one place (the named range budgets) will make things easier.
Any ideas? I don't know VBA, so was hoping for a formula solution.
Use SUMPRODUCT with COUNTIF():
=SUMPRODUCT((COUNTIF(budgets,$C$11:$C$23)>0)*$F$11:$F$23)
Or you can use this array formula:
=SUM(SUMIF(C11:C23,budgets,F11:F23))
Being an array it needs to be entered with Ctrl-Shift-Enter when exiting edit mode instead of Enter. If done properly Excel will put {} around the formula.
