excel - Need to sum a column if 2 or 3 columns contain a specific text -


i've following data set , want add values reflect "abc" in cell. 

      column1      column 2      column 3     column 4   column 5          abc    cnn           $150         abc       nba       better life    n-h           $40          lit       mnm       nice job       abc   $35          mn        abc       poor           h-i           $200         itl       abc       best           ti            $120         sql       abc         poor life      n-t           $40          lt        nm       great                     $800         abc       bef

the sum should return $150+$35+200+120+$400 = $905 because somewhere in cells has text "abc". tried using sumif(find) formula gives me value error. thoughts?

short answer

use array formula:

=sumproduct(if(if(len(substitute(a:a,"abc",""))<len(a:a),1,0)+if(len(substitute(b:b,"abc",""))<len(b:b),1,0)+if(len(substitute(d:d,"abc",""))<len(d:d),1,0)+if(len(substitute(e:e,"abc",""))<len(e:e),1,0)>0,1,0),c:c)

note: array formulas entered ctrl + shift + enter

explaination

to test whether or not cell contains abc can use substitute forumla combined len test difference between string lengths:

len(substitute(a:a,"abc",""))<len(a:a)

we can wrap in if statement nice array of 1's , 0's

if(if(len(substitute(a:a,"abc",""))<len(a:a),1,0)

if mapped out data this:

if(if(len(substitute(a:a,"abc",""))<len(a:a),1,0) = {0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0} if(if(len(substitute(b:b,"abc",""))<len(b:b),1,0) = {0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0} if(if(len(substitute(d:d,"abc",""))<len(d:d),1,0) = {0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1} if(if(len(substitute(e:e,"abc",""))<len(e:e),1,0) = {0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0}                                                  += {0, 2, 0, 2, 1, 1, 0, 1}

all have check if number in array >0 , multiply column c using sumproduct:

      {0, 2,   0,  2,  1,   1,   0,  1  } >0    {0, 1,   0,  1,  1,   1,   0,  1  } *c:c  {0, 150, 40, 35, 200, 120, 40, 800} =     {0, 150, 0,  35, 200, 120, 0,  800} ----------------------------------------- sum = 1305

c++ - Difference between pre and post decrement in recursive function argument -

i have following sample code used pre-decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(--c); cout << c << endl; return; } } this function give output input 4 : dp3 dp2 dp1 dp0 0 1 2 3 but when use post decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(c--); cout << c << endl; return; } } output goes in infinite loop dp4 can explain me in detail why happens ? this happens because function(c--) called same value of c , when finishes c decremented. recursively called, hence called same value no chance of return , hit stack overflow error. assume this, int x = 1, y = 0; y = x++ result y == 1 , x == 2. if y = ++x , bot x , y 2.
