My romance with the wonderful city called mumbai is coming to an end in another few hours. I will be packing my bags and leaving to VT by 8:30 tonight. It actually has been one hell of a vacation with loads of new friends and new experiences. But if there is one theme that remained through out the holiday (errr.. internship) its the wonderful eat out locations I have found out and enjoyed.

So here goes a large scoop on mumbai eatouts for all the summer interns and management trainees of this world.

Cheap & Best:

Crystal – Its right on the marine drive, chowpatti. Wont burn a larger hole than 50 bucks if you want a dinner. Must try: Aam ras, Gobi Paratha

Paramount – Right on marine drive but further down than Crystal. Looks deserted, but thats because they have alternative revenue generation schemes (if you know what i mean). Must try: Biryani

New Heros – Almost a stones throwaway from Grant road station. Basically meant to serve cheap but decent quality food. And yeah, they do free home delivery in and around chowpatti. Must try: Roti – subji.

Sukh Sagar– Near chowpatti. If you are missing the coconut chutney and smooth idlys of south this could be the place for you. Must try: Idly, Pizza, Masala Pav

Amrapali – Near flora fountain, in the road behind fountain sizzlers. Want to experience a shady bar and restaurant where you can let loose your feelings and cravings? Amrapali could be the place. With cheap beer like Amberro of which a pint costs 20 bucks and decent food items which wont screw your stumoch the next day Amrapali could be a breeze on your pocket. Must try: Amberro, Biryani

Bagdadi – In the road behind Regal, Colaba, next to bademiyan. Ideal place for roti and chicken lovers. You get really large tandoori rotis for unbelievebly low prices. Must try: Tandoori roti, Chicken fry masala

Shiv Krishna – Chowpatti, further down the lane on which sukh sagar is located. Shiv Krishna is a veggie place. Air conditioned but easy on pockets. Must try: Navratan Korma, Rotis, Upma

Exotic but Not too expensive:

Noorani Cafe – Located in Mahalaxmi / Worli, near AC market. Wonderful biryanis and other non-veggie delicacies. Must try: Chicken biryani, Fried ice cream, Falooda

Ankur Restaurant – Near flora fountain, in the road behind fountain sizzlers. Awesome chicken dishes. Must try: Chicken patiala

Fountain sizzlers – Next to flora fountain. Very good sizzlers. Must try: any thing that is a sizzler

Harbour View – Located near Gateway of India. Further down the lane in which Taj is located. This place is the right place to with your girl/man. Awesome sea view and decent crowd. Food is decent but little expensive.

Chiquitha – Located opposite Regal, Colaba. Decent chinese food at decent prices. Must try: Chopsuoy, Fried rice

Cafe Royal – Located opposite Regal, Colaba. Amazing food, Great drinks. They have 1+1 offer on alchohals after 5:30 everyday. You get huge pitchers which can be converted into 6 mugs effortlessly. Must try: draft beer, sizzlers (costly)

Sundance – Located behind Eros, Churchgate. 1+1 on beer is what made us notice this place. Everything else is too costly here. But you can try Steam rice if you want to.

Mochas – Located near churchgate, towards marine drive. Amazing place to hangout with your girl/man/friends. Dont ever order too many desserts. Just take one and share it among 2-3 people and enjoy the music and ambience. Must try: Vertigo, Chocolate Avalanche, Cappucino

Biscuit ice cream – Opposite mochas. Serves home made ice cream surrounded with wafers. Low priced but decent taste. Must try: Vanilla, Butterscotch.

Theobroma – Located in colaba causway, further down than leopold and churchil. Awesome place for desserts and sweetdishes. Must try: Chocolate mousse, tiramisu.

New Kulfi Center – Located right in chowpatti, marine drive. Awesome place for kulfis. Very cheap and yummy. Must try: Kesar pista kulfi, milan, mix

Cafe Mondegar – Need I say where it is? Awesome crowd, good music, makes you feel light and relaxing. Must try: Everything is decent

There are still manymore where I had food atleast once and appreciated it mouthfully. Anyways the point is not that. The point is to eat and to drink and to enjoy. So lets do it 🙂

Tada!

  1. I’d suggest simply using the subtotal function and filtering the data using the Win/Loss column.  You get the same results and the formula is more comprehensible.

    1. @John

      That is one option.

      There are times however when you want to see the whole data table or a filtered subset and still want to produce summary reports against an unfiltered field.

  2. Is there a particular reason why you are using a comma and the unary (–) operator for the second array in the SUMPRODUCT formula?  It seems to work the same if you were to string the arrays together using the asterisk (*).  The advantage is that SUMPRODUCT treats the entire string of arrays as a single array.

  3. Is there a way to do this on a large set of data? As in ~100,000 rows? When I try I get an error because the formula becomes too long. It says the max length of a formula is 8,192 characters. Excel 2010.

  4. How do I incorporate a specific text within a cell for the second array. For instance, – -(C7:C13=”Apple”)
    when I chose a specific text the formula does not work.

    1. @RB

      I am not sure what is the issue as if I use the sample data in the post the following work fine

      Count:
      =SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(C7:C13,ROW(C7:C13)-MIN(ROW(C7:C13)),,1)), –(C7:C13=”L”))
      Sum:
      =SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(C7:C13,ROW(C7:C13)-MIN(ROW(C7:C13)),,1)),(C7:C13=”L”)*(D7:D13))

      You may want to check that there are no leading or trailing spaces in your list of Apples

      1. I should have given a better explanation. Heres my situation. I have a column with cells filled with names like Column 1, Column 2, Pier 1, Pier 2, etc. If the cell just contained Pier and searched for that it works. But because it has other characters in the cell its not recognizing the pier. So how can I extract specific characters of a string of text in this formula?

        Hopefully this was a better explanation

  5. Hello-

    This formula works pretty well for me except that it slow down excel and prevents some of my macros from working. I was wondering if there was a way to program this in VBA so that excel isn’t always trying to recalculate it. I would like to use a push of a button to get it to run then paste in a cell.

    Thanks!

  6. I am trying to sum filtered data in a column, but would want to ignore the negative values in the column. How to go about doing this?

      1. The negative values are required for reporting purposes, but their effect on the total is distorting the required output. Please advise.

  7. I have this working for counting and summing, however, I have a list and for the second array, I need a criteria. That is, I’m looking for b13:b200=”01.??.??” or =left((a1,2) or something like that. These types of criteria matches do not appear to work as I get a blank as a result.
    Thanks!

    1. @Bob

      As your formula b13:b200=”01.??.??” looks like you are trying to check the first day of the month of the range
      What about trying Day(B13:B200)=1

  8. Hai Experts,
    i understood this formula well and working fine in MS Excel 2013
    but when the same am trying to place in google Spreadsheet it shows error as
    “SUMPRODUCT has mismatched range sizes. Expected row count: 1. column count: 1. Actual row count: 2014, column count: 1.” and as a result #VALUE! Appears in cell.
    Can anyone please help me how would i get it done in Google Spread sheet
    or is there any other formula as a substitute for this.
    Thank you very much.

    1. @Vivek

      I don’t know

      I just downloaded the file and it is working fine and not showing that error

      Goto the Formulas, Calculation Options Tab and check that Calculation is set to Automatic

      What version of Excel and Windows are you using ?

  9. I know that this forum is for MS Excel, but I am trying to help someone who is working in Google Sheets. The below formula works in Excel but Google Sheets returns:
    “SUMPRODUCT has mismatched range sizes. Expected row count: 1. column count: 1. Actual row count: 39000, column count: 1.” and as a result #VALUE! Appears in cell.
    This is the same problem asked by Srichirin above. Does anyone know if there is a formula for Google Sheets that will replicate what MS Excel does?

    =SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET($C$6:$C$39500,ROW($C$6:$C$39500)-MIN(ROW($C$6:$C$39500)),,1)),- -($C$6:$C$39500=H1),($D$6:$D$39500))

  10. Trying to find a SUMPRODUCT formula that counts the word Closed by date for the last 7 days in a filtered list.
    =COUNTIF(M:M,”>”&TODAY()-7) works ok for unfiltered count Column M contains Closure dates (blank if open) and Column L is Status Open or Closed

  11. I used this formula and worked like a charm! But, now I’ve been requested to use it but adding not one but two criteria in the same formula. For instance the sum I was doing added negative and positive numbers. I’ve been asked to use the exact same formula but adding that only positive numbers were considered… any idea on how to do this?

  12. Thank you so much brother literally I have been struggling since morning to get the sum of the filtered category, however, after reading your blog attentively i got my solution, so thanks a lot once again.
