vlookup
i'm doing a profit and loss account using figures from a transaction data
sheet, the data have a lot of different figures of something i.e. sales. how do i get excel to lookup a category (sales) from a table of data then then adding all of the sale figures together to give the total sales. i've tried vlookup but it only gives one of the figures instead of all of them added together. i might be using the wrong function, if so can you tell me which one i should be using |

vlookup
You can use SUMIF for that. =SUMIF(SearchRange,SearchCriteria,SumRangeIfDiffer ent) =SUMIF(A1:A100,"Socks",B1:B100) -- JBeaucaire ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JBeaucaire's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=73 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=45617 |

vlookup
Hi,
And if you have a lot of categories you want to do this for, then a pivot table is a nice solution. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "shah" wrote: i'm doing a profit and loss account using figures from a transaction data sheet, the data have a lot of different figures of something i.e. sales. how do i get excel to lookup a category (sales) from a table of data then then adding all of the sale figures together to give the total sales. i've tried vlookup but it only gives one of the figures instead of all of them added together. i might be using the wrong function, if so can you tell me which one i should be using |

Depending on your data table, there a few functions in Excel that you can
use. I recommend that you post your example and the result that you want in order that a solution be provided -- HTH Appreciate that you click the Yes button below if this posting is helpful cheers, francis "shah" wrote in message ... i'm doing a profit and loss account using figures from a transaction data sheet, the data have a lot of different figures of something i.e. sales. how do i get excel to lookup a category (sales) from a table of data then then adding all of the sale figures together to give the total sales. i've tried vlookup but it only gives one of the figures instead of all of them added together. i might be using the wrong function, if so can you tell me which one i should be using |
