Default need help quickly!!


I have a spreadsheet that has in column I a state abreviation. (NE, MA,
etc...). In column G I have a number of subscribers. I'd like a report
formula that adds up all the numbers associated with a specific state.

I'm doing it manually now and it's a pain! help!

Hi

I would suggest using Data / Pivot Table as this is designed to summarise
information.
There is an intro to using this powerful tool he

Hope this helps.

You can use SUMPRODUCT.

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100="MA")*(B1:B100))

Where A is your list of abbreviations and B are your numbers to sum.
Rather than type the abbreviation in the formula, you could have a drop
down list with all state abbreviations and have your formula refer to
that cell say C1. Then you could just select a state abbreviation from
the list and the formula would return the value for that abbreviation.


=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100=C1)*(B1:B100))

Does that help,

Steve

=SUMIF(A1:B5,C1,B1:B5)
A1:B5 is the range
C1 is the Crieteria
B1:B5 adds up the numbers that meet the criteria
