I have an Excel worksheet with a large number of sub-accounts and their balances, that have to be aggregated to their accounts, according to a list that maps subaccounts to accounts.
I believe I could use the SUMIF or SUMIFS worksheet functions.
This is the layout:
Column B lists subaccount numbers, and column D the balance for each. In cell Q232
, it is shown that the first account aggregates the subaccounts 8002
, 8998
, and 8001
.
For example, if Q232
contained the value "8900;8901"
, the result in R232
should become the sum of D209
and D210
, because B209
and B210
contain 8900
and 8901
.
For the future usability of the sheet, VBA is probably not an option. I attempted to use worksheet functions, e.g. in cell R232
=SUMIFS($D$1:$D$216;$B$1:$B$216;SEARCH($B$1:$B$216;Q232)=1)
But this is the wrong syntax. I also don’t see how I can use VLOOKUP
, because the range I want to search through (column B
) contains only substrings of the subaccount lists (Q232
and below), instead of the other way around.
