data validation, totaling values based off dropdown lists
The situation: I have a list of patient names in one column, a dropdown list
with four text options (for their type of injury) in another, and another dropdown list with a numerical value of how many administrative hours spent on them in another dropdown list. I need a formula that will keep tally of the number of hours spent on a patient according to their injury. So, in short, I need add the total number of hours for only those patients who have a specific text item selected in the first dropdown list. Thanks to all who reply to these things. I have learned a lot about excel in just two days thanks to your help. |

who have a specific text item selected in the first dropdown list. Column B = drop down list of injuries Column C = drop down list of hours =SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B10="injury"),C1:C10) Replace injury with the actual injury: fracture, laceration, sprain, whatever. Better to use a cell to hold the criteria: E1 = fracture =SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B10=E1),C1:C10) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Jesse Blanchard" wrote in message ...

Suppose you have names in Col A, type of injury in Col B (say four text
values A, B, C, and D) and hours in Col C then enter this wherever you want to total hours for say type a =SUMPRODUCT(--((B1:B16) = "A"),C1:C16) change B16 and C16 to the end of your data range ALSO pl press CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER together to get this to work You can do similar formula for other types or have A,B, in a cell and refer to that cell in place of "A" above "Jesse Blanchard" wrote: The situation: I have a list of patient names in one column, a dropdown list with four text options (for their type of injury) in another, and another dropdown list with a numerical value of how many administrative hours spent on them in another dropdown list.

press CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER together to get this to work
Not necessary. A normal ENTER will do. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Sheeloo" wrote in message ...
