Hi guys, I appreciate your help on this.

Hi p45cal,

Your solution is working except that it doesn't pick up the $120 value in
B5. In that case, the value 120 in A5 is found in col E, but since there's no
entry in F3, I need that value to be added also.

I'm thinking of a MATCH or SUMIF or something like that. Any ideas?
Here's NEW data that has all the conditions, I think.

A B C D E F
1 100 $100.00 100 $300.00
2 120 $121.00 120
3 $75.00 130 $200.00
4 100 $25.00 140 $250.00
5 140 $218.00

The total should be:
Sum(F1:F5)+ ( B3 ) + ( B2 ) = 750.00 + 75.00 + 121.00 = 946.00
B2 is added because no value is in F2,
B3 is added because no id is in A3.

Note that all values present in A are found in E. Extra values may be
present in E.

You said the result needed to be like this
= (F1 + F2) + B2 + B4 + B5
= 300.00 + 200.00 + 50.00 + 75.00 + 120.00
= 745

The Sumproduct/Countif formula I suggested returns 745 with your
sample
data.

Peter TYes, Peter, it gives the same result for his example. But further
testing yields some odd results; If the ranges in your formula are
expanded to cater for the full 15 rows possible, then when you:
Add a new item in table 1 after the last entry, call it 101 and give it
the value $3 in the second column of table 1,
then add 101 after the last entry in column 1 of table 2 and leave the
value empty..

I -*think *-the answer should be 748, but your formula gives 673.


Indeed you are right, I see why it's wrong but trickier to fix than I
thought!
Of course would be much easier if the data is tidied up a little beforehand.
