Using "IF"
for example i have a column with names in and another column with numbers in.
I want, in a seperate cell, to search the name column and if there are duplicates of a name to add the numbers up in the corresponding cells. Is this possible...HELP!"! |

You could use a sumif() if you are looking for a specific name. If the names
are in column A and the numbers are in Column B in a seperate cell use =sumif(A1:A100,"bob",B1:B100) "we88y" wrote: for example i have a column with names in and another column with numbers in.

Thanks for that, but havign just had a quick read i dont think that will help
either. Perhaps a more detailed example will give a clearer picture of what i am trying to achieve: I have two columns; NAME and PICK QUANTITY. When a worker finishes what they are picking they enter there name in the "NAME" column and the total units they have picked in the "PICK QUANTITY" column. Obviuosly throughout a day this list would get quite long. In seperate columns i would have the picker names and the cell adjacent would have a running total which updates the addition of any new entries in the "pick quantity" column: NAME PICK QUANTITY Mr Smith 100 Mr Smith 150 Mr Jones 20 Mr Jones 20 Mr Bloggs 46 Mr Bloggs 60 Mr Mooney 30 Mr Mooney 30 Mr Smith 50 Mr Bloggs 14 I hope the example above makes it clearer!!!

Hi, I think I have a solution...
Suppose you have "Name" in column A and "Pick qty" in column B. Then you have again "Name" in column F and "Total qty" in column G. Tou can use this function from cell G2, assuming you have labels on first row. =SUMIF($A:$A,F2,$B:$B) Hoping to be helpful Bye Franz "we88y" ha scritto nel messaggio ...
