hi
off to the side create a small table. you will need a formula similar to the
sumif that work for each word. you can then sum the sums for a grand total.

Can you take a stab at this for me? I'd like to search in column H for one
of 9 or 10 words (call it w1); then add their same line, column E, which is a
currency field, so that I can repeat this for each word, having totals for
each word.

Perfect! Thank you! Yes, I believe that worked! My report has nearly 5000
lines, so I checked it by choosing just a few lines. Thanks again!

So..I want to sum a column, but only consider the cell's value in this sum
if
a cell on the same line has an entry in a different column? Hope that
makes
sense. Tried reading through the sumif explanation, but can't figure it
out.
Can someone please help me?
