Hi
SUMIF should do the job.
Type =SUMIF into the cell and then hit Ctrl+A. This brings up a dialog box.
You'll need to use the optional field at the bottom (Sum Range) to select
the range of values to sum.

I have worksheet listing employees and their classification of DL(Direct
Labor) or IDL(Indirect Labor) and how much they earn. I am trying to sum
the
DL and IDL. I tried to use the sumif function but it did not work. What
function should I be using?
