Hi!
given the table below - example - John 2 Fred 3 Eric 1 Eric 3 John 4 Eric 2 Fred 2 Eric 1 1. I want to count how often a name occurs e.g. Eric = 4 2. I want to calculate the sum of the values for a certain person e.g. Eric = 7 Any solution? Thanks! tom |

=COUNTIF([range],"Eric") -- replace [range] with the correct range on your
worksheet. =SUMIF([range],"Eric") -- replace [range] with the correct range on your worksheet. -- Brevity is the soul of wit.

Hi! Thanks for the answers!
still encountering problems with SUMIF. The actual table contains sevrel colums with data. an example: A B C 1 green red 2 John 4 2 3 Fred 1 3 4 Eric 111 1 5 Eric 5 3 6 John 5 4 7 Eric 5 2 8 Fred 5 2 9 Eric 5 1 =SUMIF(A2:C9,"John") The result is 0, how to get 2+4=6 as a result?
