Good afternoon,

I am trying to assist somebody at work. I would like to ask if there is a
way to set a formula in a totals cell at the bottom or a spreadsheet (for
example) where for every cell in
Column A that contains a certain ID, their corresponding values in column B
are summed. For instance if A2 A3 AND A11 contain a specific ID, then a
'totals' cell would add B2, B3 AND B11. I would like to use an IF statement
or something for example: (SUM B cells where A cells=ID). What syntax would I
use for this? Thanks.

Hi!

Try this:

=SUMIF(A2:A50,"ID",B2:B50)

If your "ID" value is TEXT enclose it within quotes as I did in the formula.
If the "ID" value is numeric, don't use the quotes.

Hi Brent

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100="ID")*(B1:B100))
Adjust the ranges to suit and change the "ID" to whatever criteria you are
seeking.
