I can't think of a short title for this
 

Ok this is what I have. I have a list of accounts: 100-2, 100-3, 200-2,
200-4,
400-2, 400-3, 400-4, etc. all in one column. Then I have the balances for
each of these accounts in another column. What I am trying to do (with no
success thus far) is create a formula that takes all the accounts that end in
"2" and add them together, all the accounts that end in "3" and add them
together etc. I figured that I would need a formula for each check digit but
I cannot figure out how to get it to work. I have used SUM, IF, CHOOSE, in
all kinds of variations. I am stuck. Is this something I can actually do?
If it is, who wants to be my saviour today? :-)

You might need a helper column
Column A is the account numbers 100-1, 100-2 etc
Column b is =right(a1,1)
column c is the balances
To add all the accounts ending in 1 use =SUMIF(B1:B5,1,C1:C5), changing the
range as required and the '1' to the number of the account you need.

Hope this helps

Let's say all of you accounts are in col A, in rows 2-100, and the values are
in column B

Try

=sumproduct(--(right(a2:a100,1)="2"),b2:b100)
