I have data that looks like this:

Class    Date   Yr1   Yr2   SeasonalityIndex
AUS     9-Aug     1     0        0.060465116
AUS    16-Aug     6     0        0.362790698
AUS    23-Aug     2     1        0.181395349
BVE     9-Aug     2     0                  ?

I want to auto-fill the Seasonality Index Column. However, the code for those cells looks like this:

=(D55+E55)/SUM($D$55:$E$67)*$H$1

Where H1 is a constant, but as you see each index is dependent on a SUM of all the values in that CLASS for year 1(Yr1) and year 2(Yr2). When Class changes, I want the auto-fill to change to the next section.

Obviously, a normal auto-fill would not work in this case because the cells are locked. Each section is exactly 13 rows if that helps.

I'm not sure if this will be workable for you, but you could try: 1.Name each range with the exact same name as the name of the class. 2. Replace the sum with: =(D55+E55)/SUM(INDIRECT(A55))*$H$1 assuming A55 is the cell with the name of the class in it.

Of course, naming the ranges first is a bit of a pain, depends how much you use this spreadsheet and whether it's being reused in the exact same format frequently.

If you want an expression that evaluates to SUM($D$55:$E$67) when it’s evaluated on rows 55-67, and evaluates to SUM($D$68:$E$80) when it’s evaluated on rows 68-80, etc., use

SUM(OFFSET($D$3, 13*INT((ROW()-3)/13), 0, 13, 2))

(Insert this into your full formula.)  Row numbers 55 through 67 get converted to 52 through 64 (by subtracting 3), which yield 4 through 4.923 (by dividing by 13), all of which get converted to 4 by INT().  Then multiply by 13, to get back up to 52, and use that as an offset to D3 to get up to D55.


Or, to add the values in Columns D and E for rows having the same value in Column A as the current row, use

(SUMIF($A$1:$A$999, $A1, $D$1)+SUMIF($A$1:$A$999, $A1, $E$1))

which does pretty much exactly what I just described.  Replace 1 and 999 with the range of rows in which you have class data.

It seems like it should be possible to combine the above into a single SUMIF (or maybe SUMIFS) that sums Columns D and E, but I couldn’t figure it out.
