Hi All!

I need to place the sum of certain cell values in a separate cell. Easy
enough, except for one thing:

Here's the deal. If F21 has "B" in it, that's when I need E21's value added.
If there is ANYTHING else in column F, don't add the value of the
corresponding E column cell. I would like a function formula that I will
place in E6 that will work for the entire columns E & F.

Let me know if you need additional information to understand my query.

Thank you!
Kristen

hi
sumif????
=sumif(F:F,"b",E:E)
but you can't put the formula in E6 else you would be a circular reference
error.
you could modify to something like
=sumif(F5:F500,"b",E5:E500) or what ever.

if you are limiting this to when the cell in column contains ONLY a B, then

=sumif(F7:F100,"B",E7:E100)

if you want to sum when column F BEGINS with B, then

=sumif(F7:F100,"B*",E7:E100)

and if you want to sum anytime column F contains a B anywhere in the cell

=sumif(F7:F100,"*B*",E7:E100)

=sumproduct(--(F1:F1000="B"),(E1:E1000))
sumproduct needs a defined column length. I selected 1000

or you could try =sumif(F1:F1000,"B",E1:E1000)


with a sumproduct formula you can have more than one condition

Thank you everyone! The =sumif that you all suggested worked perfectly! You
are all very helpful and thank you for the quick response!

Hi Kristen,

You can use the SUMIF function to achieve this. Here are the steps:

1. Select the cell where you want the sum to appear (E6 in this case).
2. Type the following formula:
   Formula:

   =SUMIF(F:F,"B",E:E) 

3. Press Enter.

This formula will add up all the values in column E where the corresponding cell in column F is "B". If the cell in column F is anything else, it will not be included in the sum.

You can copy and paste this formula to other cells in column E and it will work for the entire columns E and F.
