how to sum "unique" samples
Given the following data in a spreadsheet, is it possible to sum all the red
pencils, all the blue pencils, and all the green pencils if the number of lots for each color varies? I'm hoping there's a way to sum samples based on the criteria "unique". Column 1 Column 2 color: # in each lot: red 200 red 100 red 50 blue 350 green 200 green 210 green 75 -- Sometimes to have a little good luck is the most brilliant plan. |

how to sum "unique" samples
Assuming colors are in column A and quantities are in column B, we can use
the SUMIF() worksheet function like this: =SUMIF(A2:A8,"red",B2:B8) or if you want, you can enter a color into another cell, say C1 and use the formula like this: =SUMIF(A2:A8,C1,B2:B8) "LindaJane" wrote: Given the following data in a spreadsheet, is it possible to sum all the red pencils, all the blue pencils, and all the green pencils if the number of lots for each color varies?

how to sum "unique" samples
hi
=sumif(A2:A8,"red",B2:B8) or =sumproduct((A1:A8="red")*(B2:B8)) you'll need a formula for each color(criteria) Regards FSt1 "LindaJane" wrote: Given the following data in a spreadsheet, is it possible to sum all the red pencils, all the blue pencils, and all the green pencils if the number of lots for each color varies?
