My sample sheet is probably easier to understand than my writing but here's the issue: I have a sheet that I'm trying to create a spill formula that sums an array of numbers up in each line.
B:D
is my existing data that's being evaluatedD
(which is not always the case), split values (defined by ,
) and lookup each one's most recent entry (column B
) and sum its value from column C
with other members in same cell.I can accomplish this using the Reduce formula shown in my sample data in blue column F
, and dragging the formula to the latest entry, however it will not spill down dynamically.
=iferror(REDUCE(0,SPLIT(D2,",",false),lambda(total,value,xlookup(value,B:B,C:C,"",0,-1)+total)),0)
I can get the C
values to spill down dynamically (as shown in green columns in sample) as numeric values, but I can't figure out how to sum them.
=Filter(iferror(XLOOKUP(SPLIT(D2:D,", ",false),B:B,C:C,"",0,-1),0),A2:A>0)
I would have expected something like either of these to work, but both generate a #N/A
=Filter(iferror(REDUCE(0,SPLIT(D2:D,", ",false),
lambda(total,value,xlookup(value,B:B,C:C,"",0,-1)+total)),0),A2:A>0)
=Filter(sum(iferror(XLOOKUP(SPLIT(D2:D,", ",false),B:B,C:C,"",0,-1),0)),A2:A>0)
I've also tried these as named functions with only the spilled variables as input, but same result.
I know the reduce function can perform a spilled range, as shown here on Ben Collins' site, however I can't figure out how to get it to do so with my dataset. It's occurred to me that because I'm generating a horizontal array, a verticle array may not be possible?
Any helpful answers will be upvoted if not accepted. Thanks.
Here's one approach:
=byrow(index(map(iferror(split(D2:index(D:D,match(2,1/(D:D<>""))),", ",0,1)),lambda(z,xlookup(z,B:B,C:C,)))),lambda(y,sum(y)))
