Formula Breakdown

  • SUMIF($C$6:$C$15,P6,$D$6:$D$15)

Here, $C$6:$C$15 is the range in which you will check your criteria. P6 means Product A and is the condition. $D$6:$D$15 is the sum range of the selected rows. The function will return 150.

  • SUMIF($C$6:$C$15,P6,$D$6:$D$15)+SUMIF($H$6:$H$15,P6,$I$6:$I$15)

The plus sign (+) is used for the OR operation. SUMIF($H$6:$H$15,P6,$I$6:$I$15) will sum the quantity of Product A and return 100. The whole formula will sum the Opening Stock of Product A and the Stock In quantities and return 250.

  • SUMIF($C$6:$C$15,P6,$D$6:$D$15)+SUMIF($H$6:$H$15,P6,$I$6:$I$15)-SUMIF($L$6:$L$15,P6,$M$6:$M$15)

This formula adds the quantity of Product A in Opening Stock and Stock In, subtracts the quantity of Stock Out, and returns 170.

  1. I’ve followed and read carefully, I’ve not done accounts,but I’ve used your formula and I can proudly say it’s of great help.Can I prepare it in an empty Excel sheet so that if I put the figure it will automatically balance?

    • Thank you for your question. Yes, you can prepare it on an empty Excel sheet so that it will balance automatically when the figure is entered.

  2. I’ve never done this before and I love the fact that everything was so simple to understand.

    So, does this mean now the Balance Stock becomes The Opening Stock?

      Hi Gabolete Fane,

      Glad this was helpful to you. “Balance stock” can technically become “opening stock”.
      The balance stock refers to the inventory at the end of the period while the opening stock is the inventory at the beginning of a period. So, if your next period starts right after your current period, the balance stock becomes the opening stock. It depends on the time periods you are considering.
