How do I lookup a value in a table which has many results?
I have a table of medications in one column and how many of each medication
that has been ordered. Problem is the medications are listed bout 10 times. I need to lookup the medication and return each result (or sum them). For example: Panadol 2 Panadol 20 Panadol 5 Nurofen 4 Nurofen 16 Nurofen 10 I want to look up Panadol and sum how many panadols have been ordered. Answer would be 27. Then I want to be able to do the same to Nurofen. If this is possible, could someone please let me know. Much appreciated. |

Use SUMIF() as below with data in ColA and B
=SUMIF(A:A,"Panadol",B:B) You can replace the text in the formula to a cell reference...

1. one way:
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$6=$A$1)*($B$1:$B$6)) 2. another: =SUM(IF($A$1:$A$6=$A$1;$B$1:$B$6)) (array-enter this formula i.e. CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) adjust yr ranges to suit HIH On 3 Lis, 07:47, Mallymoo wrote: I have a table of medications in one column and how many of each medication that has been ordered.
