With no specific information I can only make a general recommendation:

Check the Excel SUMIF function....It sounds like that's what you might need.

If that doesn't work for you , post back with some examples of the data and
how you want the formula to work.

Does that help?

How do I sum SOME values in a column based on values in another.

One column has various info. Depending on what is in that column, I want to
sum hour values in another.
