Hello there, I understand that you would like to see the summary of your data based on Column D and J (month), right?
User 14/09/2017 - 09:10
exactly
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:10
Will you be able to upload your data using the document preview to the right or at least a part of it so I can analyze it and work on it?
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:13
Hello, to do what you need to do, you simply have to use a Pivot Table.
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:14
I have created a test data in the document preview.
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:15
I have also created the Pivot Table 1 tab where the Pivot table is created to show the summary of your data based on those 2 columns.
User 14/09/2017 - 09:15
ok
User 14/09/2017 - 09:15
but if I want to do with formula then?
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:15
I'll create the formula for you in Sheet2
User 14/09/2017 - 09:16
I am unable to upload the file
User 14/09/2017 - 09:17
I've to just set the formula in summary to see the total no. of Technical & Non-technical categories against the perticular month ex. January
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:18
If you'll look at Sheet2, I created the SUMIFS() formula that sums the data you need depending on the king of TECH or Month.
User 14/09/2017 - 09:19
Can you pls paste the formula here .. as i can't see the preview
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:19
Without your data, this is the best I can do for you and you will have to adjust the formula yourself since you are the only one who has analyzed it.
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:19
=sumifs(Sheet1!$K:$K,Sheet1!$D:$D,"Tech",Sheet1!$J:$J,B1)
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:19
Where Sheet1!$K:$K is the column you want to summarized
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:19
and B1 is the Month you want.
User 14/09/2017 - 09:20
ok
User 14/09/2017 - 09:20
Got it
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:20
For Non-Tech:
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:20
=sumifs(Sheet1!$K:$K,Sheet1!$D:$D,"Non-Tech",Sheet1!$J:$J,E1)
Excelchat Expert 14/09/2017 - 09:20
Where E1 is the Month as well.
