Help with SUM and IF
Hello friends: I have a small problem. I am a novide at Excel so please bear
with me. I ahve an excel worksheet with around 500 rows. Column X has all number values (EX: 0.0245, 0.0354, 1000, 22 etc) and Colum Y has string values (EX: "ab", "xy", "john" and "Q3"). The string values repeat themselves but not in any known sequence. Its just random. I want excel to report the sum of all the numbers in Column X that correspond to string "ab" and do the same for all the other strings. So finally I would get an output of 5 separate numbers for "ab", "xy", "john" and "Q3". Please help. Thanks for all the help in advance. Amstro. |

Help with SUM and IF
Hi!
Try this: Make a list of the unique strings from column Y: A1 = ab A2 = xy A3 = john A4 = Q3 Then, in B1: =SUMIF(Y$1:Y$500,A1,X$1:X$500) Copy down to B4. Biff "Amstro" wrote in message ...
