User
24/10/2017 - 07:22

User

I would like the following result
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:23

User
24/10/2017 - 07:23
I want to allocate the total cost within a month (start en end date) to be sum in sheet 3 per devivio
User
24/10/2017 - 07:24
*devision
User
24/10/2017 - 07:25
so the autcome for Jan for apple should be: 350
User
24/10/2017 - 07:26
1 time material 1 (100) and one time 2 (250) and 3 (300), so 650 excuse me
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:26
last entry for apple is 2018 or 2017?
User
24/10/2017 - 07:27
sorry drag made is 2018
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:27
so usually each entry will be for one month?
User
24/10/2017 - 07:27
yeah most of them
User
24/10/2017 - 07:27
some are for more
User
24/10/2017 - 07:28
That would make it worse right? Because then you have to spread it over time
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:29
yes that would make it nearly impossible to code in excel
User
24/10/2017 - 07:29
yeah so the first is already perfect
User
24/10/2017 - 07:29
without spreading over time. I will solve that myself
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:30
so the dates, if any entry is in January at any date of that month that will be counted as January product?
User
24/10/2017 - 07:30
yes
User
24/10/2017 - 07:31
sumif for all cost in that month if related to apple for instance
User
24/10/2017 - 07:44
I'ts like watching a triller
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:46
you will need vba
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:46
Look the formula I just created
User
24/10/2017 - 07:47
Yes
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:47
This formula for each division has to be applied but the formula must go for all the cells of sheet1 first column
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:47
like some for loop
User
24/10/2017 - 07:48
You used a singel cel instead of a row to calculate?
User
24/10/2017 - 07:48
ah ok
User
24/10/2017 - 07:48
Because it should be 200 right?
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:48
you cannot use a row sum formula here
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:48
yes
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:48
I just take the first cell as sample
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:48
wait giving you a demo
User
24/10/2017 - 07:49
ok
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:52
now check
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:52
I have gone upto 3rd row
User
24/10/2017 - 07:52
ah ok
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:52
pasting the same if-else thrice
User
24/10/2017 - 07:53
Yes I understand
User
24/10/2017 - 07:53
This if for 1 row in a time
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:53
so if you need to do it for all the cells that number of time this formula needs to be pasted
User
24/10/2017 - 07:53
Can I retrieve from column also?
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:53
yes
User
24/10/2017 - 07:53
awesome
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:54
but without vba you cannot simplify this
User
24/10/2017 - 07:54
I don't know what vba is
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:54
I am sorry I have some knowledge in vba but I need time
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:54
In VBA you can have some loops like we need here
User
24/10/2017 - 07:54
ah ok
User
24/10/2017 - 07:55
You thought me array already last time
User

Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:56

User

User
24/10/2017 - 07:56
bye
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:56
what I was doing was looking if the division was apple and month was january
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:57
then sum
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:57
so simple sumif cannot help you in this
Excelchat Expert
24/10/2017 - 07:57
as your sum involves values from two different sheets and also includes multiplication too
User
24/10/2017 - 07:58
Yeah, my template for budget got many tabs but most referrals come from same tab
User
24/10/2017 - 07:58
