Mike, thanks for your quick reply, but no, it did not help me.
Maybe I was not quite clear in my question, but I'll try again.
I want to sum data per cost-unit, if 2 criteria are met.
The data is organised in ranges, identified by the text "Realisation" or
"Budget" in column A (criterium 1). The next criterium is in column D, and
consists of a number.
There are multiple rows containing data matching both criteria, and these
data i want to total per cost-unit.
I tried nesting IF-statements, combined IF with SUMIF, tried VLOOKUP, but
tio no avail.
If I confine the range tot the part with only Realisation, it seems to work
well. The problem occurs when I expand the range to the full dataset; then I
get a total of al elements in the column I am evaluating.
Hope that this is the info you (or anybody else) helps to come up with the
correct solution.
Keeping my fingers crossed.....

If ive understood correctly this could work:-

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10="Budget")*(B1:B10=1)*(C1:F10))


Alter the ranges to suit. This finds Budget in Col A, No1 in Col B and then
sums cols C,D,E & F

Hi,

I am having trouble with the following, and wonder if someone can help me out.
We have a periodical dump of ledgerdata, which is divided in Budget and
Realisation info.
The format (i.e. the number of lines with Budget- or Realisation data)
varies per period.
Furthermore the data is specified (columnwise) over approx. 30 cust-units.
The data has to be reported per cost-unit on separate sheets, and is
ultimately aggregated to company-level.

The dataset looks like this:
Type Ledger# unit1 unit2 unit3 unitn
Budget 1 10 20 30 50
Budget 1 5 15 25 33
Budget 4 1 0 10 15
Real. 1 5 10 20 25
Real. 4 7 15 20 38
Real. 4 2 5 5 5

I am looking for a formula that finds whether it is a Budget or Realisation,
and then sums the values per ledger# per cost-unit.
Presently I find the data by defining the exact range (e.g. Budget data is
in A2:AZ136), and then use SUMIF to sum the data per ledger#.
With 30 cost-units this means a lot of find&replace.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!
