Help with Excel Sum Function
Hi All,
I need help with an Excel formula, I'm trying to create a formula that will calculate the total for each client from the Jan workbook and put it on the Summary workbook, matching by client name columns (Client). So for example sum in col C3 in Summary all entries in Jan col C that match Alkeon by matching the name in Summary A3 with Jan Col C giving a total of 1083.76 from the data below. Summary (Workbook) (Cell)A C 1Client Jan 21798 Capital #N/A 3Alkeon 1083.76 4Alydar 823.90 Jan (Workbook) (Cell)C G 1Client Cost 2Alkeon 541.88 3Alkeon 541.88 4Alydar 618.9 5Alydar 102.50 6Alydar 102.50 I've tried sum & vlookup but neither one quite worked (ex below), what's the best function to accomplish this? I've tried =SUM(IF(Jan!$C$2:$C$194="Alydar",Jan!$G$2:$G$194,0 )) and =VLOOKUP(A3,Jan!C$2:G$999,5,FALSE) but neither one quite worked, any suggestions? Tom |

Tom You were very close with =SUM(IF(Jan!$C$2:$C$194="Alydar",Jan!$G$2:$G$194,0 )) In fact, if you enter this as an array formula by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter it should work. However, in your case SUMIF is the easier solution and does not require array-entry: =SUMIF(Jan!$C$2:$C$194,"Alydar",Jan!$G$2:$G$194) In either case, you can replace "Alydar" with a reference to make the formula more generic. E.g. in Workbook cell C2: =SUMIF(Jan!$C$2:$C$194,A2,Jan!$G$2:$G$194) ....and copy down as needed. |

Hi Tom
Look for the SUMIF function in help. =SUMIF(Jan!A2:A6,A3,Jan!C2:C6) Regards, Per On 29 Sep., 01:48, Tom wrote: Hi All, I need help with an Excel formula, I'm trying to create a formula that will calculate the total *for each client from the Jan workbook and put it on the Summary workbook, matching by client name columns (Client).
