Default Counting people

Hi,

I've got a spreadsheet which has one column with names, another the
number of people and the third confirmed attendance i.e.

Jack & Jill 2 N
Simon & Jane 2 Y
Peter 1 Y

My question is how can i get excel to look at the confirmation column
and for every confirmation to add the number of people to a confirmed
total?

Many thanks

Ben

Hi Ben

One way:

=SUMPRODUCT((C2:C200="Y")*B2:B200)

Consider setting up a PivotTable for the report.
