Is there a way to use a multiple column array in SUMPRODUCT?

  • Follow


I am attempting to use SUMPRODUCT to pull values froma multiple column 
spreadsheet and add them together.  I am able to get the SUMPRODUCT to work 
if I am only looking for values in one column, but as soon as I select all 
columns, the function no longer works.  

example:  column A holds accounts, column B holds subaccounts, columns D - F 
(possibility of over 100 columns) hold companies

I am looking for all values to be added together that hold values for both 
column A and column B

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A61=A44),--(B2:B61=B44)--(F2:F61)) works for just column 
F, but when I try to add more columns, i.e., D - F, the function no longer 
works.

Is there a way to expand this function or nest another function (maybe 
SUMIF) to do this?

A	B	C	 D 	 E 	 F 
100	121	account descrip	 89.00 	 -   	 900.00 
200	131	account descrip	 -   	 -   	 10,000.00 
300	141	account descrip	 -   	 -   	 101.50 
400	151	account descrip	 -   	 -   	 895.30 
500	161	account descrip	 -   	 -   	 -   

So with the formula I have now, I am getting an answer of 900.00, but what I 
would really like to get is the answer 989.00.

Maybe something like this...

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A61=A44)*(B2:B61=B44)*D2:F61)

If the range to sum also contains TEXT this will not work.

Try it like this:

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A61=A44)*(B2:B61=B44)*D2:F61)
