=sumif(A:A,"PO2244",B:B)+Sumif(C:C,"PO2244",D:D)+S umif(E:E,"PO2244",F:F)

You can replace "PO2244" with a cell reference for a cell that contains the
PO.

Hello all,

I have three lists, see above. They contain similar information and
all have the same header "PO Number" and "Quantity." Is there any way,
with a formula, that I could find totals for each "PO Number."

I am familiar with Excel's lookup functions but can't seem to make
them fit this problem. I'd like to be able to see that PO2244 has a
total quantity of 2000. And PO2263 has a total quantity of 1400. And
so on. This list will grow so doing it manually is a problem.

I'd like to avoid VBA but maybe I won't be able to do so...

Many thanks to you!

Christine
