Hello!
I need to modify a formula to sum 5 counties together and return what is in
column 4. Column 2 is blank so I do not need to match column 1 city with the
county in column 2. I just need to find the "County: " in column 1
find the amount in column 4 and add all counties column 4 together.

Currently I have in worksheet 1 a formual:

=sumproduct(--(index(ilsort,,1)="Totals for City:
Chicago"),--Index(ilsort,,2)="County: Cook")+(index(ilsort,,2)="County:
Dupage"), index(ilsort,,4))

looks in range name ILsort for column 1 and find Total of City Chicago then
look in column 2 for "Chicago city in Cook and Dupage counties add column
4 of each county and returns total

Worksheet 2 has the data:
Colmn 1 = City
Column 2 = County
Column 3 = State
Column 4 = Gross
Column 5 = Tax

How do I modify the formula to say:

Look in range ILsort column 1 for "County Cook", County Dupage, County
Kings, find the amount in column 4 of each county and return the total

I've tried to change the formual but zero keeps coming up. Its not working.

I also have another formula I've tried to modify:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP("Totals for County:
WESTCHESTER",nysort,4,FALSE)),0,VLOOKUP("Totals for County:
WESTCHESTER",nysort,4,FALSE))

but I cant seem to get this one to work either. I'm not familiar enough
with the formula's to figure out the order they should be in. The help
examples in excel and not that helpful.

Any help would be wonderful.

Thanks
