Default Sumif or Better Alternative?

Hi All

I know how to use the conditional sum or sumif function - I am trying
to see if there is a better way to do somethign that works wth sumif -
but there really is no "summing" going on - and since I use a lot of
these in a spreadhsheet and it takes more time than I would like to
process I am looking for a potential alternative.

Anyone have any other ideas that might be more efficient than using a
SumIf if there is no "summing" actually going on - it is sort of like
a lookup inside a lookup but since I done have the middle range needed
for the 2nd lookup I am not sure what to do

Thanks in advance for any assistance

Jeff

Here is what I have

Value Formua Result
A SUM(IF(IDList=ID,IF(Code=A2,Count,0))) 100
B SUM(IF(IDList=ID,IF(Code=A3,Count,0))) 0
C SUM(IF(IDList=ID,IF(Code=A4,Count,0))) 100
D SUM(IF(IDList=ID,IF(Code=A5,Count,0))) 100
E SUM(IF(IDList=ID,IF(Code=A6,Count,0))) 0
F SUM(IF(IDList=ID,IF(Code=A7,Count,0))) 100

ID = 22222
