Welcome aboard, John 👊 INDEX-MATCH is a better formula and far more flexible than DGET. But DGET is simpler for this specific instance on creating summaries for Dashboards and Reports.

Thank for deeply explaining with good example. If possible, please add more relevant group of D* such as Dget, Dsum, Dmin, and Dmax. Thank again for kind sharing knowledge.

Mate, I wish I'd seen this video a few days ago. I ended up using CHOOSE inside a VLOOKUP inside an IF statement (!!) This is brilliantly straightforward. Thank you so much!

Been using vlookup for a long time, always annoyed by the limitation. Thanks for the video, learned a better replacement for vlookup!

@patriktrivedi

5 жыл бұрын

dear its not like replacement. vlookup is far better then this one.

SUMPRODUCT can be made to work with any value. Simply convert the Boolean to binary using a double negative. E.g. --($A$2:$A$50="Apples"). You can return the row of the match by adding a ROW($A$2:$A$50) to your arguments list which makes the SUMPRODUCT now work with an INDEX.

I often compare the database functions with SUMPRODUCT and SUMIFS and so on to show that as we add more criteria, the database functions never balloon in size, always database,field,criteria whereas the others get longer and longer and more complex. Database formulas win!

Very useful! Re example 2...Sumproduct CAN BE USED with text and arguably can handle much more complex datasets with multiple matching values and also for creating summary tables. I point it out bc I use it daily with large DBs and it's a life saver. An example formula of using Sumproduct for the 2nd example (also will handle multiple matching values) is: =SUMPRODUCT(--($F4=$A:$A),--($G4=$B:$B),$C:$C)

Thank You kindly for this advice. This might be a solution to a problem I'm tryng to solve myself right now. Do You think on such formula could work across 3 different sheets? Or should I built 3 separate formulas for each? I have to handle the same data in 3 different sheets but additional problem is that even if a column refers to the same thing and includes the sae value the column naming system isn't coherent. What's more I have to deal with lack of possibility to use Vlookup option.

Watching this video has really been an eye opener. I never hears about the DGET function and its wonderful features till now. However, the search is only on one row. What if I have data to search for on the the second or third rows, if I pull the formula down to the next row, would the formula still work?
