Hi,

Assume your data is arranged as follows in range D20:E24:

Jack 12
Bob 23
Jack 34
Mary 45
Jack, Mary 56

You may use the following formula
=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH(G20,$D$20:$D$24,1))*$ E$20:$E$24)). G20 holds
Jack
I have a question. In the example above, since 56 appears against Jack and
Mary, should this amount be included in the summation of both Jack and Mary.
if yes, then the formula above will work.

Hello,
I have a worksheet that has the following information:
Cell A: Name/Cell B:Amount/Cell C:Name/Cell D:Total
Jack $2 Jack
Bob $5 Bob
Jack $7 Mary etc
Mary $10
Each time an amount is allocated to Jack I would like the amount to go
into
the total cell (Cell D)for him, and add it up, or even into another
worksheet, is this possible?
Kind regards
:-)
