Just one thing which I want to write"" Excellent". You are doing a great job for the Excel users/lovers/addicts. Waiting eagerly for your every video, your trick, your explanation, your logic. Hats Off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you so much Gopala. Very glad to hear you enjoy the videos :)

[@rwhuner350]

This is one of the best excel explanations I have seen. Thank you! I was able to solve my challenge in minutes after viewing this.

[@tedsterrett7204]

Miss it's great that you are able to help so many people in their jobs and businesses, very inspirational to business people and others, Thank you.

[@LeilaGharani]

It's my pleasure Ted.

[@peterwadsworth4607]

Hi Leila I've worked with Excel for many years but learn something new every time I watch one of your vids. Just one quibble. The singular of "criteria" is "criterion". Keep up the good work. Peter

[@LeilaGharani]

Hi Peter - Glad you like the videos and find the content useful. As for criterion - That's good to know - I always went with criteria for singular and plural :)

[@irislee7999]

I have learnt a lot from excel videos, not simply usage of excel functions but also a lot of workaround solutions. Thank you so much for great efforts!

[@mackenmd]

So very happy I stumbled upon this video. Your explanation abilities are exceptional. I’m an instant subscriber - thank you!

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad you like it. It's great to have you here.

[@devadevendran7028]

Hi Leila, ultimate teaching, even excel beginners can understand the dynamic rules.... Keep posting more dynamic video's

[@LeilaGharani]

Thanks Deva. Glad you like it.

[@sachinrv1]

Hi Leila, this is again one of the fantastic example of integrated functions. In excel, I feel a function really has a limited usefulness when used by itself, but when used in combination of other related functions, it produces amazing results. Always love to watch your videos on excel. Keep sharing..

[@LeilaGharani]

Fully agree Sachin. As a team the formulas can achieve amazing results :)

[@JRVariety]

it's really hard to find the best video like this, thanks for your good tips

[@bigman55434]

Excellent explanation of this application of SUMIFS with Index/Match to determine the sum column. Much appreciated.

[@raghuv7114]

This video never gets old. Such a beautiful explanation on index and match along with sumifs for different columns.

[@LotfyKozman]

Great job Leila, you offered a very healthy plate contains a lot of vitamins: Data Validation, Sumifs, Index (Array & Reference), and Match. This plate might be richer than the delicate Pivot Table plate. Thanks for your efforts.

[@LeilaGharani]

Many thanks Lotfy - that's a very nice way of putting it :)

[@hasanahmed-ls9lb]

still some good person exits who help people for nothing.. thanks madam. i am watching your video from far away....

[@ismailismaili0071]

the between bracket idea inside the Index function is new thing for me thank you so much Ms. Leila.

[@LeilaGharani]

You're very welcome Ismail - yes that can come in handy... :)

[@euniceesinam2573]

Hi, Leila, as always, thanks for simplifying my work. Just to add, I use Indirect to dynamically change the sum range, but given that it's volatile, I always sought a better way; yours is better.

[@ankursingh35]

All your videos are really very informative and educational. I like Excel and have learned a lot from you. Thank you so much for giving us such opportunity to learn from you.

[@LeilaGharani]

You're very welcome Nazila. I'm glad you like the tutorial :)

[@UbaidUllah-nj5et]

Mam b4 watching your videos i was of the view that index and match are used seperately and cannot be joined in any case and they cannot be use for typical problems solving...but now my view has been changed they are very useful and can ease our life to a great extent....Very useful video mam...

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad to hear this video helped :) Yes - I am a big fan of Index and Match and also Index mixed in with other formulas. I find it to be very powerful and flexible formula.

[@reidsexton2869]

This is great stuff! So glad I stumbled upon your page. The way you clearly explain not only the "How" but the "Why" is a real value add. You have a new subscriber!

[@LeilaGharani]

That's great! Good to have you here.

[@TH3LMITA]

Thank you very much for sharing all your knowledge, I really appreciate it, I have learned a lot from you, and I would like to share this other option, using the titles of the columns in the table and obtaining the same result: =SUMIF(Table1[Cost center],J6,INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("Table1[",K6,"]")))

[@LeilaGharani]

That's great! Thank you for this. I will pin this on top so others can see this alternate method as well :)

[@MIRZA1515]

@@LeilaGharani, would you please make a video for this formula, because i did not understand the difference.

[@ajayrungta5131]

I thought of this way initially, but yeah the formula is better, I think. So his formula takes use of the in-built name manager functionality of tables where table headers are automatically used as name for the corresponding columns. So in the formula instead of typing exact ranges like f2:f26 simply use that name. He referred the name with k6 input cell. Hope this clarify.

[@PedroDelfin]

I use this already, but can I have a 2 column sum or average range in a table?

Brilliant video and I like the way of giving the lecture clear and slow, the result is easy to understand and remember :)

[@LeilaGharani]

Thanks Maher. Glad you like it :)

[@teoxengineer]

Hi Leila, Also, we can use for range selection with appling CHOOSE&MATCH functions instead of index. =SUMIFS(choose(match(K6;Table1[[#Header];[Base salary]:[Bonus]];0);Table1[Base salary];Table1[Benefits];Table1[Bonus]);Table1[Cost center];J6) That's all 😊 Thanks for your presentation

[@resrussia]

Thanks for another interesting video. As trainer, I appreciate your taking the time to work through the reasoning behind the formula. I am trying a new strategy with your videos. Instead of just watching the videos (and taking notes), I watch the introduction and see if I can derive your solution on my own. Sometimes I able to arrive at the same solution, sometimes I find a different solution and most of time I cannot figure out a solution. I took a slight different strategy solve the problem. I defined names for each of fields/columns containing values being summed and used the INDIRECT function to decide which field to use based on the name of ranges. Thanks again for a wonderful video and a good intellectual challenge.

[@LeilaGharani]

That's a great learning approach and also a great answer you came up with! It's great to hear your ways of getting to the answers for me and others too because it provides all of us different perspectives and methods to getting to the same place. Thank you so much for sharing....
