Hi,

I am wanting to sum up data in a column only when it corresponds to data in
2 other columns, i.e.

Stage Person Cost
Stage A Person 1 £5
Stage A Person 2 £2
Stage A Person 4 £8
Stage A Person 1 £7
Stage A Person 1 £10
Stage B Person 4 £12
Stage B Person 4 £1
Stage C Person 5 £3

What is the easiest way of calculating how much it costs for Person 1 in
Stage A? (actual spreadsheet contains hundreds of rows)

cheers,

Hi Kippers,
Use Filter Option to know the amount, first filter by Person1
and then filter by Stage A. You will get a result.

Regards,
Vivek Mane

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A10="Stage A"),--(B2:B10="Person 1"),C2:C10)

One way:

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A9="Stage A")*(B2:B9="Person 1")*C2:C9)

or with Stage A in D1 and Person 1 in E1:

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A9=D1)*(B2:B9=E1)*C2:C9)

Note that you appear to have a double space in Person 1
