Hi U,

If a worksheet formula would suit, try:

=SUMIF(B1:B100,"=M",A1:A100)

You can use both worksheet functions or VBA to solve the problem.
First of all, let's see additional worksheet function solutions using array
functions techniques.

For example, if you got a list of numbers in A1:A20, and you got those "M"
in the adjacent column (B).

You can type the array formula:
=SUM(A1:A20*((B1:B20)="M"))

To input an array formula, after typing the formula, hold Ctrl+Shift then
press Enter.

Or, you can use the following "more clever" array formula:
=SUM(A1:A20*(OFFSET(A1:A20,,1)="M"))


Then, let's see the VBA solution.

With the cells in column A selected, run the macro below.

Sub example_macro()
Dim a As Range
Dim cell As Object
Dim answer
Set a = Selection 'can replace this with another range object description

For Each cell In a
If cell.Offset(0, 1).Value = "M" Then
answer = answer + cell.Value
End If
Next

MsgBox answer
End Sub

What is =SUMIF(B1:B10,"M",A1:A10) ?

Good luck.
