Try
=SUMIF(A1:A117,"bj",B1:B117) It will sum the cells in the range B1:B117 where the corresponding cell in Col A is bj "john b" wrote: trying to get the total of a cell based on the value in another cell. eg if cell A contains the value "bj", the sum the value in cell b1:b117, where cell a contains the value "bj", here is the formula I tried. sum(if(a1:a117,= " bj", b1:b117)), this give the the total of cell b1:b117, not what I want. tks for help jb sorry missed the = first time I posted... |

Thank you for the response. I see where I had gone wrong, I used = instead
of , after A117., works the way I required. tks again jb "Sheeloo" wrote: Try =SUMIF(A1:A117,"bj",B1:B117) It will sum the cells in the range B1:B117 where the corresponding cell in Col A is bj "john b" wrote: trying to get the total of a cell based on the value in another cell. eg if cell A contains the value "bj", the sum the value in cell b1:b117, where cell a contains the value "bj", here is the formula I tried. sum(if(a1:a117,= " bj", b1:b117)), this give the the total of cell b1:b117, not what I want. tks for help jb sorry missed the = first time I posted... |

You had the right idea.
Here is the right way to use = sign (or or <) =SUMIF(A1:A117,"=bj",B1:B117) "john b" wrote: Thank you for the response.
