Thank you for your help. I pasted the formula into Col C. I did get the
desired results for the first student. But the other 1900 students are black
in Col C. Is this due to the absolute values? Am I supposed to change those
values for each student ID group? I know there is a way this can be done,
I'm an old lotus 1,2,3 user, but I've forgotten everything I knew from those
days ... and my mind has gotten older, too! All this to say, please continue
to be patient with me. Thanks.

Hi

Bob's formula will work fine, if you make the ranges absolute.

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$2000=A2),--($B$2:$B$2000=1))
If you want to suppress seeing the total on every line for the student,
then use the following.

=IF(A3=A2,"",SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$2000=A2),--($B$2:$B$2000=1)))
This will just put the value on the last line for each student.

I don't think I was clear in my question because the suggested formula
is
putting a zero in very cell of col C. Or I don't know how to apply
the
formula. I am rephrasing my question.

In Col A I have 2000 student ID numbers. For some of those ID numbers
I
have ten lines.

In col B I have the coded data for the student ID showing which
classes they
took. Each class has a separate line.

Also in Col B I have a digit (the number 1) which is the code for
special
training received.

I need to sub total those ones for each student id and put that sub
total
into col 3 by the first (or last) entry of the student id.

So the project starts like this: And I want to get
this
result
Col A Col B Col
C
21 ABC
21 def
21 1
1
22 fgh
22 1
1
23 1
23 1
2
26 rtr
26 str
0

I hope this clarifies my question ... or that you can help me adjust
the
formula. Thank you. Crystal Bujol

I have a worksheet with two colums of data: Col. A has the student
ID.
Col
B had codes and the integer "1." There may be 10 lines of codes
for each
student, or six lines. I need to sub total the number of "1's"
for each
student id and put that number into Col C. Can I do this with sub
totals?
How do I write the formula to print a sub total for each student id
in col
3?

thank you.
