How to sum top 3 or n values based on criteria in Excel?

Normally, we can sum the top n values from a range of cells by using a simple formula, but have you ever tried to sum top n values based on some criteria. This article, I will introduce some formulas for summing top n values with specific criteria in Excel.

Sum top 3 or n values based on one condition with formulas

Sum top 3 or n values based on multiple criteria with formulas


Sum top 3 or n values based on one condition with formulas

To sum the top 3 or n values with one condition, you can apply the below formulas:

The generic formula is:

=SUMPRODUCT(LARGE((range=criteria)*(values),{1,2,3,N}))
  • range=criteria is the range of cells that matches with specific criteria.
  • values is the list of numbers values which contain the top values to be summed.
  • N represents the Nth top value.

1. Please apply this formula into a blank cell:

=SUMPRODUCT(LARGE(($A$2:$A$15=D2)*($B$2:$B$15),{1,2,3}))
  • Tips: In this formula:
  • $A$2:$A$15=D2: is the range that matches the specific criteria.
  • $B$2:$B$15: is the list of values which contain the top values you want to sum.
  • 1,2,3: indicates the top 3 values you want to sum.

2. Then, press Enter key to get the result of the total values of the top 3 values, see screenshot:

Note: Accept the above formula, you can also use an array formula to deal with this job:

=SUM(IFERROR(LARGE(IF(($A$2:$A$15=D2),$B$2:$B$15),{1,2,3}),0))

Remember to press Ctrl + Shift + Enter key together to get the correct result.


Sum top 3 or n values based on multiple criteria with formulas

If you need to sum the top n values based on two or more criteria, for example, I want to sum the top 3 orders of product KTE that salesman is Kerry as following screenshot shown:

To solve this task, the generic formula is:

=SUMPRODUCT(LARGE((range1=criteria1)*(range2=criteria2)*(values),{1,2,3,N}))
  • range1=criteria1 is the first range of cells that matches with specific criteria1.
  • range2=criteria2 is the second range of cells that matches with specific criteria2.
  • values is the list of numbers values which contain the top values to be summed.
  • N represents the Nth top value.

1. Please apply the below formula into a blank cell:

=SUMPRODUCT(LARGE(($A$2:$A$15=E2)*( $B$2:$B$15=F2)*($C$2:$C$15),{1,2,3}))

2. And then, press Enter key, you will get the result as you need:

Note: You can also use an array formula to solve this job:

=SUM(IFERROR(LARGE(IF(($A$2:$A$15=E2)*( $B$2:$B$15=F2), $C$2:$C$15),{1,2,3}),0))

Please remember to press Ctrl + Shift + Enter key together to get the correct result.
