There are boozers, then there are movie buffs. There are food freaks too. There are dance maniacs also. There are surfing addicts. There are gamers. Above all there are sporting stars. But there is one sect of the prisoners living here. Their eye shutters drop at the drop of hat. Literally. I am proud to be a part of this cult worshippers of the god of hypons.
Ideal setting of the life here doesnot permit a participant to go snoozing for more than 5 hours a day. Well, i am exaggerating as there are always exceptions to this rule. But, seriously i have not slept more than 6 hours during working days. Again, the definition of working day is very much flexible. Just like the definition of ‘welldone’ comment made by managers in IT companies. Based on the current timetables we can safely say that, all PGP 1 participants in iim indore gets 2 days of holidays under normal conditions. But.. But the normal conditions are theory. Practice is much more different and thus we end up getting somethig like 30 holiday hours for a week.
So what does a not so crazy person do on these 30 hours. Well, there are several avenues for getting fun and entertained.
– TV and movies on your box
– reading books (i have yet to meet a person doing this :D)
– party
– booze and become unconscious (for obvious reasons we the sleeper class dont call the unconscious part as sleeping)
– play computer/human games
– Go to city and get some nice food and watch central Indian chicks :p
– and finally sleep, sleep something like night 10 to evening 6. 😀
This brings us to the question of what crazy people do on those 30 hours???, well, according to some observations, they do
– prepare for the next day classes/cases/assignments
– goto library
– other CV building stuff. :(((
Coming back me, obviously i sleep in the holidays. I dont even bother to wake up for breakfast and sometimes lunch. I somehow had the belief that sleeping gives more energy and i can spend that energy in the later part of the day. This is the reason why i take afternoon nap very religiously. But for some strange reason, i never sleep in the class. May be because i dont want to miss the class. Here missing the class has other parts apart from the lecture. The other significant parts include some of the orbitest and funniest CP done by classmates and enjoying the sleeping techniques of the same bunch.
Infact, my sleeping is so overwhelming that, i dont do anything else in the holidays. Not even bathing. But i am not the only one to share the blame for my sleep. It is the atmosphere in indore that makes you goto bed earlier. It is always raining and chilly. The breeze rushing to my room takes away my consciousness along with it. and there i am dreaming about working (ie sleeping) as a manager in an MNC.
That is all about sleeping. Chalo me going to D block to discuss a case.
Goodnight -)

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.
@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.
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.
@Mathew
Your correct, There is no difference.
I thought it may have been easier to explain this method.
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.
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.
@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
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
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!
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?
@Akshay
Why not just add a filter to that column to only show the values greater than zero?
The negative values are required for reporting purposes, but their effect on the total is distorting the required output. Please advise.
@Akshay
I’d suggest making a post in the Chandoo.org Forums

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!
@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
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.
thanks for providing this.. but why does excel keeps on prompting Circular referencing in cell D3?
@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 ?
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))
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

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?
How exactly do you do sum filtered cells when two criteria are need not just one?
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.
