I've the following table:
In cell A7 I define the index of column 1 I want to use for my computation, in this case A. For every row with index A I want to multiple the value for that row of column 2 with column 3. In this example there are two rows with index A, so I want to do the computation for both rows and then add the results. That will look as follows: 5 * 3 + 9 * 7= 78.
To achieve this, I first tried to write a code that sums all values in column 2 that match a given index. That index is A, so 5 + 9= 14 is what the output should be. I only get my code to find the first match, so that's row 2 and it will display the value of column 2, so that's 5. This is my code for cell B7:
=SUM(INDEX(B2:B5;MATCH(A7;A2:A5;0)))
Even if I solve this I still don't have what I actually want, but I think it's a start. How do I get what I innitially wanted and have the outcome equal 78?
