Looking for Text strings
Luke is correct. Your formula might look like this:
for Safeway:
SUMIF(B2:B19,"sw",A2:A19)

Additional example data might be helpful, but my first guess would be that
you want to use the SUMIF function.

I lost all my data and have to redo my home spreadsheet, but It's been
awhile
since I made it and I have forgotten some of my formulas. I need a simple
one
tho. On my input page column A I list the amounts. In column B I use a
text
code for the vender i.e.
Column A Column B
$42.00 WM
$59.00 SW
Now what I need is the formula that will place the amount on my data sheet
depending on the "WM" or "SW" text codes like so.
Wal-mart Safeway
$42.00 $59.00
I had my last workbook set up this way but I haven't worked with formulas
in
a long time and my mind isn't as sharp as it once was. Thanks in advance
for
the help.
