Numbers sumif formula

I used the following formula in Excel =SUMIF(I$27:I$105,"=M",H$27:H$105). This formula does not work in Numbers, I have tried a variety searches under help and have looked for books at the bookstores that may add insight to no avail. I anticipate there is a syntax error, anyone with thoughts.
The formula works in Excel.

When you say it "does not work", what exactly do you mean? If it were a syntax error, you would see an error in the cell. Do you mean the formula displays 0? If so, maybe the numbers you are adding are formatted or evaluated as text somehow. Just playing with a table similar to Yvan's and formatting the number column as text kills the SUMIF formula in Numbers. But, in Excel, the formula appears to live on. Just a guess.

  • Sumif() formula and copy/paste

    I'm having difficulty with a sumif() formula that works if I type in data or copy and paste from the same sheet but not if I copy and paste from an external source, even another Numbers sheet.  Any ideas?

    Rob,
    It seems that the data type detection in Numbers 3.0 is not as robust as was the case in version 2.3.
    Try preformatting the table that you are pasting into, and then use Edit > Paste and Match Style.

  • How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells?  In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly.  When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up.  How can I do this?

    How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells?  In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly.  When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up.  How can I do this?
    For example: I have formulas in columns D and F that relate to columns C to CU
    If I want to move one column from one position to another (say S to T), the formula loses the colums that was moved, i.e. it doesn't recognize it has moved, rather sees it as deleted...  How can I do this without distorting the formula?

    Thanks for the feedback.
    If I often urge askers to look at the available resources, it's because  a large range of questions asked in the forums are already answered in these documents.
    As they are PDFs, they are easy to search in.

    Download them while they are available.
    Given what is delivered with iBooks Author, I'm afraid that we will not get such easy to use documents.
    Searching infos in the  iBooks Author documentation available on line is awfully cumbersome and a lot of embedded links are wrongly flagged this way. In the Help files they aren't links but underlined strings.
    It seems that the tool used to generate the web pages was wrongly configured.

  • Numbers SUMIF with condition based on another cell?

    This works great!
    =SUMIF(Food Log :: Date,"=March 20, 2008",Food Log :: Calories)
    But I want the condition to be based on a cell value:
    =SUMIF(Food Log :: Date,"=A2",Food Log :: Calories)
    Is there a way to use the SUMIF function with a condition based on the value of a cell?

    Chris,
    Try this formula: (Forgive the made up values in the example)
    =SUMIF(Food Log :: Date, A2,Food Log :: Calories)

  • Cell references within a SUMIF or SUMIFS formula

    I am using an extensive amount of SUMIF(S) formulas that redundantly refer to the same cells. Since the cells contain a name (rather than a number) I'd like to refer to a cell location rather than type the name or copy past literally dozens of times I recreate the spreadsheet for a new employee. Here is an example where the name ("Marissa" in this case) could be referenced in some other cell. The goal would be to have a standard formula an only having to change the reference cell when I duplicate the spreadsheet for a new employee: (this is just one example)
    =SUMIFS('Production Data (BT)'::Table 1 :: $Input,$Date,"=1/*",$Matter,"=*Administrative Matter",$Staff Member,"Marissa*")+SUMIFS('Production Data (BT)'::Table 1 :: $Input,$Date,"=1/*",$Matter,"=*/Education",$Staff Member,"=Marissa*")+SUMIFS('Production Data (BT)'::Table 1 :: $Input,$Date,"=1/*",$Matter,"=*Vacation Time",$Staff Member,"=Marissa*")+SUMIFS('Production Data (BT)'::Table 1 :: $Input,$Date,"=1/*",$Matter,"=*Personal Leave",$Staff Member,"=Marissa*")+SUMIFS('Production Data (BT)'::Table 1 :: $Input,$Date,"=1/*",$Matter,"=*Client Development Activities",$Staff Member,"=Marissa*")
    Any guidance would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance.

    I just started studying your question.
    First comment, the column entitled Date wich is supposed to store dates must be set to text to be able to match the condition "=1/*"
    Maybe it's the unique problem.
    I can't see because to study the case, I started splitting the formula into five shorter ones each of them calucated a specific SUMIFS.
    It will be easier to debug.
    It was the unique problem.
    Your formula is perfect. You are just applying to a badly defined set of datas.
    A date is stored as a number of seconds since a given date.
    So, your condition is never matched on a date.
    Of course, I may guess that you need to store true dates in your table.
    The soluce is to insert a column entitled DateString (it's just a sample)
    In cells of this new column, insert the formula :
    =""&Date
    In your main formula, replace the reference $Date by $DateString
    That's all folks.

  • Syntax error in  a numbers " if" formula

    Hi All:  I hope that somepne can tell me what is causing the syntax error on the following formula:
    =IF(C16>0, =sum(C15+C19+C23+12), =12)
    I have tried just about everything that i can think of and nothing works.  for your info C16 is a numeric field with no formulas. the formula in the if true section, works just find in the spreadsheet.  The if false section, I have tried =12, +12, =+12, and 12.  I am using numbers 09.
    I look forward to everyone's assistance.
    Thanks,
    G.E.

    omit the "=" inside the if() like:
    =IF(C16>0, sum(C15,C19,C23,12), 12)

  • Numbers If Formula

    Help, I am trying to make an if formula, but can't get it to work.
    So what I need to do is -
    I'm using numbers to keep details of booking for an event, and I have set up a second table for people who said they would like to volunteer. On my booking table I have a column where they choose which team they want to be in. And I want in a separate table to pull the names of everyone who selected for a specific team.
    SO something like IF a3 =stewarding = first name
    but what would be useful is if it didn't say it for delegate one it would automatically look at the next delegate and so on... so I would then have a list of names of everyone who is in a team automatically
    Make sense?
    HELP!

    I want in a separate table to pull the names of everyone who selected for a specific team.
    SO something like IF a3 =stewarding = first name
    It is possible to set this up with formulas using a "helper" index column.
    But unless you are constantly refreshing the list every few minutes, how about using the power of the Numbers interface like this.
    Keep all the data (names and other information) in one table. Have a column for Stewarding and format the body cells as Checkbox.  Check the boxes as appropriate.
    Set up a separate empty table.
    Then when you need a list of all the people you have for Stewarding, simply filter on the Stewarding column (click the disclosure triangle by column letter at the top and choose the filter from the drop-down menu that appears).  Select the visible cells, command-c to copy, click once in a cell in the separate table and command-v to paste.  In just a few seconds you have your separate list. 
    Clear the filter in the data table and apply other filters as needed for other lists.

  • Can iOS Numbers copy formulas when adding new rows?

    iOS Numbers table add row is not copying previous cell formulas. Is this supported or not?
    I have a table with lots of columns and all of them have formulas. When I click at the lower left of the table to add a row, none of the new cells have the formulas. I have to manually go through every column and copy the formulas to the new row.
    This is not very practical if you're planning to use Numbers on the go with an iPad. In my case, I have to quickly get a new row ready as needed. I was hoping there is a preference setting somewhere like "copy formulas when adding new row".

    I had the same issue with the added twist that I wanted to reference the created cells in formulas in other sheets. This is what works for me:
    I use a form to enter data. The referenced sheet is set up like this:
    1     Name     Date     ServPayment    SalesPayment     Total
    2     Week1                                                                 =sum (ServPayment,SalesPayment)
    3                                                                                =sum (ServPayment,SalesPayment)
    4     TotWeek1                                                            =sum (Total2,Total3)
    "Total" sums the 2 Payments, TotWeek1 sums the totals.
    In the entry form I never add data to the empty line. In this example, I would start at "Week1" and tap the "+" to add a new form. This creates the line in the referenced sheet with my formulas. As I continue, I always start at the last entry I have made and tap "+".
    When I create a line that does not have the formula on either side, I do not get the formula.
    Hope this helps.

  • Updated cost numbers in Formulation Tab after import?

    P4P v6.1.
    We are using the SaveDWBSpecCost API in the Extensibility Pack to pull raw material costs into the Cost Library. However, if a user is in the system when the service updates the cost library, they have to unselect then reselect the cost set in the Formulation Tab before they will see the updated numbers.
    Is this the only way for the user to see the costs from the latest effective date in the currently selected cost set when they open the Formulation Tab? Their concern is that there seems to be no way currently for the user to know they are using old cost information, so the user has to reselect the cost set every time they’re in the Formulation Tab. Seems awkward. Is there a better way?
    thanks

    Hi Tallen,
    I think it is worked as design because we don't want the new cost data to affect any legacy data in system until you update it manually. However, when user creates a new formulation with the material as input, system will pull the latest cost data. So i believe the functionality you request here is currently not supported. I recommend you submit an enhancement request. Be sure to include your business use case.
    Thanks,
    Jessie

  • Using the SUMIF formula in Xcelsiuis

    Hi,
    I am trying to use the =sum(if( array formula in Xcelsius - but cant crack it. The formula seems to be working in offline mode and when i preview it. But when i launch the dashboard via a portal - the formula returns 0 value. Wanted to understand that is there something wrong that i am doing or does the formula not work in xcelsius ?
    Thanks !

    Hi Pat,
    "=SUM(B3-C3)" works.  Another option is "=B3-C3" No quotations.
    The bottom Right corner of A3 has a o click & drag down page.
    Alternatively click A3 then the position down the page you would like to end the formula, then got to Insert, Fill, Fill Down.  NB I have set up a shortcut for it.
    Enjoy
    Hope this helps

  • Need help with a Numbers (ISBLANK) formula

    Having trouble with a cell formula that tests 2 cells for blank condition.
    I want to sum 2 cells only if they are BOTH blank.  (Trying to eliminate the
    "0" in the sum cell if both test cells are blank.)
    I've tried using ISBLANK, AND, IF functions but no success.
    Would appreciate your help on this. Thank you.

    Hi there.
    Perhaps due to my bad english, I could not understand your question, but I want to help, anyway.
    The question is: why would you want to sum two blank cells? Or what you want is to sum two cells IF two different cells are blank?
    Best regards,

  • I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96

    I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells in a column,  find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96  I used to use Excel and the formula worked fine in that. Here is my Formula
    =(average(small(H201:H220,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    This formula worked in Excel and when I converted my spreadsheet over to Numbers, this formula no longer works.
    The best that I have been able to do so far is use small in 10 different cells, then get the average of the 10 cells and finally multiply that average by .96  So instead of using 1 cell, I'm using 12 cells to get my answer.
    This is a formula that I will be using all the time. The next cell would be =(average(small(H202:H221,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    Hoping I explain myself well enough and that someone can help me.
    Thanks

    You can still do it in one cell but it will be more unruly than the Excel array formula.
    =average(small(H201:H220,1),small(H201:H220,2),small(H201:H220,3),...,small(H201:H220,10))*0.96
    where you would, of course, replace the "..." with the remaining six SMALL functions.

  • Work around for array formula in numbers

    I have an excel array formula that I am trying to replicate in numbers.
    I have a table of data that contains various revenue types.
    I want to return only those items that are marked as "membership" revenue on a new sheet
    the formula i have is
    index(L$2:L$150,small(if(Q$2:Q$150="Membership",Row(L$2:L$150)-Row(L$2)+1),Row(L 1)))
    when I put this is an array and copy it then it skips the rows that don't relate to membership.
    In numbers the formula works in the first cell but I can't copy it so that it returns only the membership data.

    Given this:
    How about a filter?
    Giving this:
    You can then copy the body cells of the filtered table into another existing table, which you can sort, etc.
    Or, if you want have the second table automatically refresh (but don't care about sorting it) you could do something like this.
    Add an index column (that you can later hide if you want):
             The formula in D2, copied down, is:   =B2&COUNTIF(B$1:B2,B2)
    And then use a formula like this to extract the values into the second table:
    The formula in A3, copied right and down, is:
               =INDEX(Table 1::A,MATCH($A$1&ROW()−2,Table 1::$D,0))
    If you want, you can wrap it in IFERROR to suppress the red warning triangles in the lower rows:
           =IFERROR(INDEX(Table 1::A,MATCH($A$1&ROW()−2,Table 1::$D,0)),"")

  • Converting Excel formulas to use in Numbers

    I want to use an Excel 2010 spreadsheet in Numbers on my iPad.
    When added and opened with Numbers, some formulas are not copied, only the values... How can I keep / convert all the the formulas ?

    Hello pjl123, and thanks for helping
    Only some formulas are not converted. It's a bit long to find all of them, because there seem to be a lot of small triangles with exclamation points in the converted Numbers file.
    I'm not sure about the way I should save the file, since I presently use Excel 2010 normally (.xls format)
    The reason I'm asking for help on this, is that I want to get rid of my M/S windows laptop in favour of an Apple, and I have a lot of excel files that would require a lot of work to redo in numbers....
    If anyone knows how to save an excel file in a format more compatible with numbers, I would be very grateful.
