Sheri,

=SUMPRODUCT(C5:C47,D5:D47)

may work, depending on what you have besides 1s in cells C5:C47 - 0 or blank is okay, other numbers
are bad for this.

=SUM(IF(C5:C47=1,D5:D47))
Entered using Ctrl-Shift-Enter will definitely work.

I am trying to find a short cut for the if funtion. Here is my formula (it
takes so long to input and then when I want to copy it to a new set of
values, it takes a long time to revise. Here is my recent formula for on one
of the values that I need.
=IF(C5=1,SUM(D5),0)+IF(C6=1,SUM(D6),0)+IF(C7=1,SUM (D7),0)+IF(C21=1,SUM(D21),0)+IF(C22=1,SUM(D22),0)+ IF(C23=1,SUM(D23),0)+IF(C24=1,SUM(D24),0)+IF(C25=1 ,SUM(D25),0)+IF(C35=1,SUM(D35),0)+IF(C36=1,SUM(D36 ),0)+IF(C37=1,SUM(D37),0)+IF(C38=1,SUM(D38),0)+IF( C39=1,SUM(D39),0)+IF(C40=1,SUM(D40),0)+IF(C41=1,SU M(D41),0)+IF(C42=1,SUM(D42),0)+IF(C43=1,SUM(D43),0 )+IF(C44=1,SUM(D44),0)+IF(C45=1,SUM(D45),0)+IF(C46 =1,SUM(D46),0)+IF(C47=1,SUM(D47),0)
This is what I tried to do, =IF(C5:C47=1,SUM(D5:D47),0) but it does not like
the (C5:C47)
