Default Trying to summarize same values

Hey,



I have this, for example:



Column A:

X

Y

Z

X



Column B:

1

2

3

4



I want to be able to summarize all values in Column B which Column A=X

or Column A=Y. The result should be 7 (1+2+4).



I did this:



SUM(IF(COUNTIF(A:A,"X"),VLOOOKUP("X",A:B,2,),"0"), IF(COUNTIF(A:A,"Y"),VLOOOKUP("Y",A:B,2,),"0"))



For some reason, it returns 3. It doesn't adds the second value of X for

some reason.



Any ideas why?



Thanks!

Hi riktubrs,

Try this:

=SUMIF(A1:A4,"X",B1:B4)+SUMIF(A1:A4,"Y",B1:B4)

HTH
