Thanks p45cal,

I'll drop over there and take a look. If I post, I'll follow your suggestion.

The concept you provided gets me 75% there. The solution is still not adding
in the B5 cell. This is the case where the A5 matches the E3, but because F3
is empty, I want to add B5 to the total.

Ideas?

my miserable formula attempts but no real joy I'm afraid.. *::but::*:
There is someone who I think might help if he saw your problem. I
suggest posting at 'vbaexpress.com' (http://vbaexpress.com/forum) under
Excel help. With a bit of luck *xld* will see it - if anyone can solve
it, he can.
If you choose to do so, please state, at both sites (1) that you've
cross-posted, and (2) provide a link to the corresponding thread
(agaimn, at both sites).
