VLOOKUP, SUMPRODUCT, or SUMIF?
 

I believe there is any easy solution to my problem but after a few hours of
trying I just havent hit on it yet€¦hope someone else can.

I have 2 worksheets titled €œdata€� and €œjobs€�.
I need to lookup a value from the €œjobs€� worksheet on the €œdata€� worksheet
(col H). If I find the value in H, I need to sum the value of col M from the
€œdata€� worksheet where the rows had a match on col H. So far, so good.
However, I only want to sum the rows with a value of €œP€� in col G. Here is
my example:

Data
Col G Col H Col M
P ABC123 100
P DEF456 150
D GHI789 200
D GHI789 250
P GHI789 300
P GHI789 350

Jobs
Col A Col B
ABC123 100
DEF456 150
GHI789 650

Ive tried various ways around this but keep getting the full total of
GHI789 = 1100. Ive also tried
=VLOOKUP(A2,data!H2:H1911,SUMPRODUCT((data!$G$2:$G $65536="P")*(data!$M$2:$M$65536))) but this gives me a #REF error. Am I close??

Seems to me you can juse use a pivot table to create this kind of summary.

Unfortunately SUMPRODUCT() won't work on full columns, you have to end the
reference at row 65535... but this will work:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!$H$1:$H$65535=A1),--(Data!$G$1:$G$65535="P"),Data!$M$1:$M$65535)

Then, for the 65536th row you can add just a simple check:

+if(and(Data!$H$65536=A1,Data!$G$65536="P"),Data!$ M$65536,0)

Steph,

A pivot table would generally be easiest.

But if you need a formula, use SUMPRODUCT:

=SUMPRODUCT(--("P"=Data!G2:G100),--(A2=Data!H2:H100),Data!M2:M100)

I have 2 worksheets titled "data" and "jobs".
I need to lookup a value from the "jobs" worksheet on the "data" worksheet
(col H). If I find the value in H, I need to sum the value of col M from
the
"data" worksheet where the rows had a match on col H. So far, so good.
However, I only want to sum the rows with a value of "P" in col G. Here
is
my example:

Data
Col G Col H Col M
P ABC123 100
P DEF456 150
D GHI789 200
D GHI789 250
P GHI789 300
P GHI789 350

Jobs
Col A Col B
ABC123 100
DEF456 150
GHI789 650

I've tried various ways around this but keep getting the full total of
GHI789 = 1100. I've also tried
=VLOOKUP(A2,data!H2:H1911,SUMPRODUCT((data!$G$2:$G $65536="P")*(data!$M$2:$M$65536)))
but this gives me a #REF error. Am I close??

=SUMPRODUCT(--($G$2:$G$100="p"),--($H$2:$H$100=A2),$M$2:$M$100)

Thanks to all who responded with the correct SUMPRODUCT formula. I guess I
was close but no cigar!! As for using a pivot table, yes, I am a big fan of
these. But in this particular case, I needed a formula to continue in my
spreadsheet.

Thanks again for all the quick responses!
