Good evening Jan

Hope you're ready for this one! First of all, in testing the formula I
only used the range from row 6 to 12 using column B for the value of
"me" and using column C for the assorted fruit and veg and D for the
values, so you will have to alter your ranges accordingly. Secondly,
this is an array formula, which means you do not press enter to commit
the formula, but ctrl + shift + enter. This will put the formula into
a set of curly braces which are not shown here.

=SUM(IF($B$6:$B$12="me",IF($C$6:$C$12<"apples",IF ($C$6:$C$12<"corn",IF($C$6:$C$12<"grapes",IF($C$ 6:$C$12<"green
bean",IF($C$6:$C$12<"oranges",$D$6:$D$12,0),0),0) ,0),0),0))
