How do I set a data cap in a SUMIF function?












1















I want to create a single formula that combines the two formulas together:
=IF(E1>500,500,E1)

and
=SUMIF(A1:A10,"Y",E1:E10)



Basically, I want to sum items from columns E1 to E10 when the value of a row in column A is equal to "Y".



I want to set a data cap wherein if one of the values to be added is greater than 500 (for example: 589), then the formula will read add the cell value as 500 instead of 589.

If the value is 500 or less, we are adding the value as is.



How do I this?

          You may follow different approaches here:




          1. use an array formula:
            =SUM((A1:A10="y")*IF(E1:E10>500,500,E1:E10))

            this is an array formula, so after typing it you need to finish by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

          2. split your task and cover different scenarios with different functions:
            =SUMIFS(E1:E10,A1:A10,"y",E1:E10,"<500")+COUNTIFS(A1:A10,"y",E1:E10,">=500")*500

            Here SUMIFS calculates only sum of entries below 500, and COUNTIFS counts entries above 500
