Best Spreadsheet Experts,
May I ask for help having a more elegant formula in LOCalc (v.5.0.3; win10)
Description
I try to get a little extra to my pension savings by experimenting on
the share market and follow up the results using Calc (not a database).
I have a spreadsheet with two ranges – range(1) directly above range(2).
r(1) specifies per row every specific purchase/sell event (date, company
name, amount, etc).
To calculate the actual "to-day"-result for this specific event (row) we
need the "to-day"-value for this company's share (in e.g. column X),
which value is taken from respective company's row in col.Z in r(2).
r(1) has yearly 100-130 rows (events)
Range(2) lists each company named in the above Range(1) and has in col.Z
the corresponding share's "to-day"-value. These inserted share values
varies from one day to the next.
There are now 10-15 companies (rows) listed in r(2) – not in alphabetic
order.
r(2) sums the up-to-date result per company and the total result.
Problem
The belowe example simplified to 5 events concerning 3 companies may
clearify the problem with the formula in X1 copied down col.X:
=if(B1=$B$20;$Z$20;if(B1=$B$21;$Z$21;(ifB1=$B$22;$Z$22;0)))
As you can see: with 15 (or more) companies (and >100 events) the
formula will grow and become very long and sensitive for mistakes.
VLOOKUP does not seem to be an option, at least it requires a completely
new setup of the page.
Range(1) - events
A B C…. X
1. nokia 5,o
2. kone 41,o
3. nokia 5,o
4. fiskars 12,o
5. kone 41,o
Range(2) - companies
A B C... Z
20 nokia 5,o
21 fiskars 12,o
22 kone 41,o
Any suggestion will be very interesting.
Thank you in advance
Pertti Rönnberg/Finland
