That's not what you said, you said

you wanted to sum B based on A and C


=SUMPRODUCT(--('[Work book 1.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$A$10000="X"),--('[Work book
1.xls]Sheet1'!$B$1:$B$10000="Y"),'[Work book 1.xls]Sheet1'!$C$1:$C$10000)

note that you cannot use A:A unless you are using Excel 2007, you need to
specify the range in previous versions

Make sure the workbook is opened when you apply the formula than Excel
will
take care of paths and names etc when/if you close the other workbook

you can use
either a SUM array formula or SUMPRODUCT (better) SUMIF however does
not
work if the other workbook is closed nor does DSUM

I am looking to add a conditional sum to a workbook. The trick is
that the information that i want to sum is another workbook. Is
this
possible or do i need to write some code in VBA?

Thanks,

I shoudl have been more descriptive of what I am looking for. I want
to set up a conditional sum from one workbook to antoher. There are
multiple conditions that I need it to meet. Here is an example
This is in work book 1
Column A is Names
Column B is output
Column C is dates

This is in workbook 2
(nothing yet) I am trying to get if Column A in workbook 1 = X and
Column C in workbook 1 = Y then Sum Column B in workbook 1.

Is this possible?

Again, I am sure that I am not coming across clearly. I need to sum
row c in workbook 1 based on if the information in A and B are equal
to X and Y. These will be totaled on the next workbook.

Thanks,
Jay
