I wasnt sure exactly how to word this question but i have an excel sheet
with 2 cullumns
|23|34|
|24|56|
|23|34|
|24|56|
|23|34|
|24|56|
|23|34|
|24|56|
|23|34|
|24|56|
|23|34|
|24|56|

now the actual one is more complicated but say i want to sum only the
numbers on the right hand size where the number on the left handsize is
23 how could i do this??
i had trouble searching the forums cause i couldnt really word the
question properly.
Thanks for your help

Max

First set of data in A1:12
Second set of data in B1:B12

In C1 type: =SUMIF(A1:A12,"=23",B1:B12)

thank you, im not used to excel and the syntax is throwing me off a
bit.
Id rather use a good old for with a bit of incrementing and some
sentinel values it just seems all so simplier :)
anyway thanks alot.

how can i add multiple possibilities ?
i tried separating by commas, or, || and all i knew from programing and
it didnt work.
=SUMIF(E2:E547,"=391",H2:H547)
if i want to have also lets say 58 in their

=SUMIF(E2:E547,"=391,58",H2:H547)
i tried many different things and none worked

Hi,

the comma is a list separator which is a local Windows setting
(regional and language settings). Try replacing it with a semicolon or
lookup your settings in Windows.

For multiple selections I have set up a simple example below:

Data in A2:B10
Selection criteria in E2:I2
Total in D3
Formulas in E3:H3

group numbers total cond1 cond2 cond3 cond4 insert new cols bevor this
green 32 green red yellow magenta no entry
magenta 16 219 32 45 103 39
magenta 23
red 12
red 33
yellow 6
yellow 53
yellow 44
add rows before this

Formula in D3: =SUM($E$3:$I$3)
Formula in E3: =SUMIF($A$2:$A$10;"="&E$2&"";$B$2:$B$10)
Copy formula in E3 to F3:H3

Mind that the ranges are fixed which means that for new rows with data
insert the number of lines required befor the row that reads "add rows
before this". This line is included in the range.
Similarly add columns for additional conditions before the column that
reads "insert new cols before this" because this column is included in
the range. If you insert new conditions don't forget to copy the
formula from the preceding cell into the new ones.

If this still isn't the solution please come back.

Try this:

=SUM(IF(E2:E547={391,58},H2:H547))
this is an array formula so enter it using CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

How about a *non* array formula:

=SUM(SUMIF(E2:E547,{391,58},H2:H547))
