Hi

I have tried that one, and it still doesnt appear to be pulling the
cell contents in. It is only pulling in the cells with one specific
variant in it, i.e. 8500/8550. It wont pull 2424, or 8400 or
8400/8500/8550

Try VLOOKUP:

=VLOOKUP(Stock!A32,'Parts&Product Numbers'!D$3:E$500,2,0)

Will match A32 against D3:D500 and pull matched value i.e same row, from
E3:E500.

If there is more than one match, it will only retrieve first one it finds.

I guess I am not really askign it to sum but to pull that specific
cell's entry, so yes the string would be good, as long as it returns
exactly what is in that cell.

Cheers,

=SUMIF (SUM) will ignore the data with / as it treats it as non-numeric.

Do you actual want to SUM these numbers or return them as a string?

Given (only) the three cells below, what do you want returned?

8400
8500/8550
8400/8500/8550

Hi,

I was wondering whether someone could give me a hand with this formula,
or whats wrong with this formula:

=sumif('Parts&Product Numbers'!D$3:D$500,Stock!A32,'Parts&Product
numbers'!E$3:E$500)

The formula works, but it doesnt pull the information i want in column
e (at the end of the formula). In column E i have three variables:

8400
8500/8550
8400/8500/8550

the formula only returns the 8400 variable, it doesn't seem to like the
/ , or any other form of punctuation. Please could someone tell me how
it can return these variables with their attached /.

thank you

Greg.
