Karen,

You need to tell us *exactly* what's in column A. Is it the text "Jan" as
was shown in your first post? Or is it a date (formatted as mmm) as shown
here? Next, your ranges have to be the same length. A2:A4 is 3 cells, but
n5:n11 is 7. They all have to be the same number of cells.

If they're text, use:
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$4="Jan")*($B$2:$B$4=3)*($C$2: $C$4="B")*N5:N7)

If they're dates, use:
=SUMPRODUCT((Text($A$2:$A$4,"mmm")="Jan")*($B$2:$B $4=3)*($C$2:$C$4="B")*N5:N7)

Regards
Fred

Hi Ashish

A pivot table is not ideal for my case. Someone else gave me a formula, it
was supposed to work but in my case it ended up with "#N/A". Can you help
me
take a look?

=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$4=DATEVALUE("Jan"))*($B$2:$B$ 4=3)*($C$2:$C$4="B")*N5:N11)

Thank you.

Hi,

You may create a pivot table - Drag month and section to the row area,
Area
to the column area and time to the data area

I have a chart with 5 columns :

Month | Section | Area | Time
Jan | 1 | A | 00:30
Jan | 3 | B | 01:30
Feb | 2 | A | 00:30
Feb | 1 | B | 01:30

Need to find out the total time based on different month, Section,
Area.
That is, if I want the total time for Jan in Section 3, Area B what
formula
can I use?

Thank you.
