the asterisk is actually "times" and not "and"
you have two true/false statementss with values 0 or 1
try
=sum(if(and(or(Code="test",Code="live"),Acct="Reco n"),Amount)

In creating a CSE formula the asterisk is used for AND... for example:
sum(if((Code="test")*(Acct="Recon"),Amount)), where Code, Acct and Amount
are ranges.

What sign is used for OR? What I'm trying to do is sum the values in the
"Amount" range if Code="test" OR Code="live" AND Acct="Recon"

Thanks,
