me??

3 A Y Y

6 1 2 3

8 COMP B JAN FEB MARCH
9 4 2 6
10
11 COMP C JAN FEB MARCH
12 3 1 1
13
14 = (1+2)+(4+2)+(3+1) <------------ sum I want
15
16 = SUMIF(B3:D3,Y,(B6:D6,B9:D9,B12:D12))

You can't use sumif but can use SUM

=SUM(B6:B12)*(--(B3="Y"))+SUM(C6:C12)*--(C3="Y")+SUM(D6:D12)*--(D3="Y")

Joel,
The double negation is not needed. This is used to convert Boolean
(FALSE/TRUE) to 0/1. Excel makes this conversion whenever a math operation
is performed on a Boolean value. Since you are also multiplying, the double
negation is unnecessary.
