Totaling Different Cell Values
 

I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to total some values. The basis
of the worksheet is that I have different sections that each have a tota
valuel but then I want to find the overall total of all the sections' totals.

This is the basis of it
------ $
------ $
------ $
Total X
------ $
------ $
------ $
Total X

Overall Total ?

I want to add all the x's but not do it manually, I want it to search for
the word Total and add up all the values of the cell across from any cell
that contains the word Total. I was trying to do it with a vlookup but I
screwed that up.


Thanks a bunch for any help. :)

Give this a try...

=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B100="Total")*(D1:D100))

where I assumed the word "Total" was in column B and the values were in
column D and that the range covered rows 1 thru 100.

Try something like this:

=SUMIF(B1:B10,"Total",C1:C10)
