❓ Question (Dashboard Requirement)
Create a dashboard calculation to:
👉 Total Pen sales
👉 Only for East region
👉 Only for dates after 01-Jan-2025
👉 And ensure it works correctly even when data is filtered
✅ Final Solution Formula
=SUMPRODUCT(
(SUBTOTAL(103,OFFSET(A2:A7,ROW(A2:A7)-ROW(A2),0,1)))*
(B2:B7="Pen")*
(C2:C7="East")*
(A2:A7>DATE(2025,1,1))*
(D2:D7)
)
🧠 Logic Explanation
This formula combines:
SUBTOTAL(103,...)→ counts only visible rows (ignores filtered rows)SUMPRODUCT→ applies multiple conditions- Conditions:
- Product = “Pen”
- Region = “East”
- Date > 01-Jan-2025
🪜 Step-by-Step Instructions
🔹 Step 1: Enter Data
- Paste dataset into Excel (A1:D7)
🔹 Step 2: Apply Filter (Optional for testing)
- Select header row
- Go to Data → Filter
- Try hiding some rows
🔹 Step 3: Enter Formula
- Click any empty cell
- Paste formula
- Press Enter
🔹 Step 4: Verify Result
Matching rows:
- 03-Jan → 150
- 06-Jan → 200
👉 Total = 350
🎯 Alternative (Simpler Version without Filter Condition)
If you don’t need filter support:
=SUMIFS(D2:D7,B2:B7,"Pen",C2:C7,"East",A2:A7,">01-Jan-2025")
💡 When to Use Which
| Scenario | Use |
|---|---|
| Simple conditions | SUMIFS |
| Filtered data | SUBTOTAL |
| Complex logic | SUMPRODUCT |
