Default Extracting Totals and Summary of raw data

Hi team,
I wonder if someone may be able to help.
I have a sheet with a list of events a person (email address) has attended and I'd like to extract/sumarize the data in columns either at the end or on a new sheet.

For each email calculate / display:
"Total number of all events booked". I do this today using =COUNTIF($D$2:$D$25140, D2)
"Total number of events booked by "Category of Event"
"Total number of Donations"
Total number of times (row(s)) this person has made a "Donation to Fund". For blank display 0.
"Sum of "Donation to Fund". If no amount state €0

Thanks Arvil.



Yes, but your suggestion is a bit beyond me I'm afraid!

Hi and welcome
You are making the same mistake that I see time and time again. You are mixing up the two elements of data capture and final reporting. The two require quite different treatments.

A lot of people start by designing the form that they expect to see as the final report or which at first glance seems the best way of capturing data, and then wonder why it's so difficult to subsequently analyse and summarise or extract information from it. Yours exhibits all those features.

You should always capture data in a simple two dimensional table and worry about reporting information from it afterwards. Without exception doing this you will always be able to easily obtain management information. Rarely is this the case if you start the other way round.
You will also throw open the whole wonderful world of the powerful Pivot table functionality.

After doing that the answer to your requirement would be to use Excel's Filtering functionality

Perhaps post a sample sheet if needed, but be aware that merged cells are to be avoided at all costs


And as you can see, Arvi used a simple multi column table with a row for each event with which you can do what you want afterwards

thanks Pecoflyer. good thing I capture the data in a 2 dimension sheet first! find attached a sample. But yes, you are right, having raw data is the first step.

Perhaps get started with a simple Pivot Table
There are nice tutorials at https://www.contextures.com/createpi...html#Tutorials

All tables are defined as Tables.
To define a Table, you select an area, or you activate any single cell in existing table, and then select Table from Insert Menu. You can then also specify a name for created Table (by default it will be Table#). When you activate any cell of existing Table, a Table Design Menu will be available with some options.
In Excel formulas, you can refer to components of Table (Header row, Table datarange, column datarange, an active cell in current row, etc., using special syntax.
When you add new row of data into Table, then usually all formats, data validations, formulas etc. are automatically expanded to new row(s).
When you edit Table name, or the name of any column in Table, all formulas in Workbook referring to this Table are adjusted accordingly;
When you refer to Table column, or to specific header, or to value in current row of Table, this reference doesn't depend on position - you can drag the column to another position in Table, and all formulas (except ones referring to certain column number) will work correctly.

To ensure that no typos are getting into DataEntry table, data validation lists are used whenever possible. The Tables on sheets Participiants, EventCategories, and Retreats are for registering such values, and are sources for those data validation lists. Excel recognizes as sources for data validation lists:
1. The list of values entered directly on creation;
2. The reference to cell range ON SAME SHEET;
3. A defined Name (Name Manager from Formulas Menu).
I used 3rd option and defined a column in appropriate registry Table as Named Range (lParticipiants, lEventCat, etc.) - this ensures those names will be dynamic (whenever a new row is added to registry Table, this option will be available in matching data validation list automatically).

Instead of SUMIF/COUNTIF, I prefer SUMIFS/COUNTIFS, as they allow any number of conditions. And as they work with single condition too, there is no reason to use both of them - so when in future there will be a need to add a 2nd condition to single one, you don't have to edit the rest of formula.

The rest is Excel as usual. You can replace Table syntax in formulas with regular range references, and all will work - until you add a new row into DataEntry table
