使用数组公式Excel的Max函数的总和

Question

I'm trying to find a formula that results in the following:

sum(max(a,b),max(c,d),....)

I tried using =SUM(MAX(0,($D$1:$P$1)-$P$3) as an array formula , but this results in excel taking the maximum of all the entries, instead I want the sum of all maximums.

Answer 1

You want to sum a range, say A1:H1 if it's greater than a cell, say H3 . But you don't want to sum the total, you want to sum the differences between the cells in the range that meet the criteria and the cell they are being compared to, right?

=SUMIF(A1:H1,">"&H3)-(COUNTIF(A1:H1,">"&H3)*H3)

It doesn't need to be entered with ctrl shft entr as sumif is already an array formula . Adapt to your conditions as needed.

Answer 2

=SUMPRODUCT((D1:P1-P3>0)*(D1:P1-P3))

The first set of parens returns a bunch of Trues and Falses. When multiplied, Trues are like 1's and Falses are like 0's. So when something is below zero, it gets multiplied by zero and becomes zero.
