complex column addition
I have 3 columns. Column "A" is the task. Column "B" is the user who is
doing the task. Column "C" is the numerical hours for that particular task. For my users, I have 3. Names denoted as "C, M, and Z". Off to the side, I'd like to keep a running total of how many hours per person...say column "T". As an example, say my totals for C,M,and Z are cells T2, T3, and T4. I can use a simple IF statement: for person C, =IF(B2="C", +C2, +0). for person M, =IF(B2="M", +C2, +0). for person Z, =IF(B2="Z", +C2, +0). There has to be a way to do this for every row all the way down for each person...other than typing =IF(BX="Y", +CX,+0) where the X indicates the different rows and corresponding adjacent cells (in column C) and Y indicates the different people. |

It sounds like you want the SUMIF function...
For "C": =SUMIF(B:B,"C",C:C) For "M": =SUMIF(B:B,"M",C:C) For "Z": =SUMIF(B:B,"Z",C:C) -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "formula428" wrote in message ... I have 3 columns. Column "A" is the task.

=SUMIF(B:B,"Y",C:C)

That Y should be one of your values of course.
