Here is a follow up to this previous post: Vlookup with 2 or more lookup criteria and return multiple matches in excel

Sum search criteria price values

Cell references in array formula in B14:

=SUM(IF(COUNTIF(B10:B11, B3:B7)>0, C3:C7)) + CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER

Named ranges in array formula in B14:

=SUM(IF(COUNTIF(search_tbl, INDEX(tbl, , 1, 1))>0, INDEX(tbl, , 2, 1))) + CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER

The array formula returns a sum of values from a column you specify. The column you specify is bolded in the above array formula.

The sumproduct formula:

=SUMPRODUCT((B10=B3:B7)+(B11=B3:B7), C3:C7) + ENTER

The sumproduct formula expands significantly if many search criteria are being used. The first formula does not change in size when additional search criteria are added.

You can also sum specific price values using pivot table.

Named ranges

tbl (B2:C6)
search_tbl (B9:B10)

How to increase the number of search criteria
