Default This formula needs to be more compact.


Hi all, I have another formula that I would like some assistance with.


Currently I use about 14 income accounts, all of which have a unique 2
letter code to define them.

I have a spreadsheet that's about 30 lines deep per day with the
different incomes listed, and a set of corresponding formulas to pick
out each one by name underneath. What I have does work, but it's very
large & very cumbersome to edit. I was wondering if there was a way to
make the formula more user friendly for times when I need to make more
income lines.

I just used a basic =IF formula and repeated it...

=IF(C5 ="IN",B5,0)+IF(C6 ="IN",B6,0)+IF(C& ="IN",B6,0) ad nauseum all
the way through each of 30 lines, and each of 14 different 2 letter
codes.

As I said, it does work, but it's a royal pain if you need to make
changes etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks
