Hi Scott
still not 100% clear on what you're after but ....
how about this for the 5s
=SUM(IF(B2=5,A2,0),IF(D2=5,C2,0),IF(F2=5,E2,0),IF( H2=5,G2,0),IF(J2=5,I2,0),IF(L2=5,K2,0),IF(N2=5,M2, 0))
subsitute 7 in the formula to add up the 7s
(hopefully someone can come up with a neater solution)

I guess the question was a LITTLE confusing.
Here is the information hopefully a little better explained.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M
N
1 5 1 7 1 5 1 7 1 7 1 7 1
5
If B,D,F,H,J,L,N is a 5, I want the sum of the row values in
A,C,E,G,I,K,M.
If B,D,F,H,J,L,N is a 7, then I want to the sum of the row values in
A,C,E,G,I,K,M.
I assume each of these would have to be done in separate cells. The data
I
have has more than 2 columns for each occurence, so the criteria is the 5
or
7, and depending on the criteria I want to sum the corresponding values.
I hope that clears up what I'm trying to do a little better. It's not as
easy to explain as I thought it would be.
Thank you.

Hi Scott
not actually sure what the criteria is here ... or what you're after
do you want the sum all the values together that are to the left of a 5
or a
7
or do you want to sum the first column if the second column is either a 5
or
7?
or do you want to sum the numbers in column A if B is a 5, in C if D is a
5,
E if F is a 7 and G if H is a 7

I'm trying to sum the number in one column based on criteria in another
column, but there are also multiple columns on the spreadsheet.
1 5 2 5 1.5 7 2
7
If the second number is a 5, I want the sum of the first numbers.
Likewise
for the 7.
Thanks,
Scott
