How to sum adjacent cells based on values of each cell?
Good day to all!
I'm hitting a brick wall in trying to set up a formula in Excel so I've come for help. It seems like it should be an easy =sumif or If/then formula but haven't been able to accomplish yet.
I can't see where I'm able to insert a picture or print screen of what I have, so I'll just use a very basic example.
Here are the values in my cells:
A1=0
B1=40
A2=10
B2=15
A3=30
B3=20
A4=10
B4=0
What I want to do is have an auto sum in cell B5 that does the following:
Add the total of column B amounts, only if greater than 0, but only if the cell in column A has an amount greater than 0 also, in the adjacent cell. For example, B2 would be added in the sum because A2 has an amount greater than 0 also. Cell B3 would also be added because cell A3 has an amount greater than 0 also. B1 and B4 would not be added in the total sum because cell A1 is 0 and cell B4 is 0. So my total in cell B5 would be 35.
Basically, just adding column B amounts only, and only if column B row has an amount AND column A of the same row has an amount.
I hope that makes sense!
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who can help with this.
Thanks!
