DSUM Excel database function with multiple rows of different criteria.
I need to calculate the "NET UNITS" used by individual clients. The problem is that each row in the criteria matrix is for a different client.
To do this I need to have a header row for each individual client - very redundant.
Currently in mt test file I have a header row for each client "hidden" and the criteria below.
Is there a way to get around having a separate header row for each client?
Also, how would I make that first column of criteria (Client Name) dynamic so as we add/delete clients, they would show up or not show up in the output?
My file has 3 tabs, the first is "Nov. 2011" - this is the original file they were using to track these units.
The second tab is a scaled down version of the Nov. 2011 data (only 5 or 6 clients) for testing.
The third tab is the criteria and output sheet.
I copied the list of clients from the Nov. 2011 sheet below the criteria matrix and as you can see, there are over 100 names. So using the current criteria layout would be tedious at best. And we would still need to manually add or delete clients from that list
