Possibly:-

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A20="Compensation")*(B1:E1=2002)*( B2:E20))

The year to sum could be a cell reference.

Hi Mike

I want to lookup and sum the total compensation in a particular year:

eg:
2006 2007
Compensation 1000 2000
Compensation 800 900


This is obvioulsy a simplified version but is essentially what i need to do.

Thanks for your prompt response.
