What function can I use
I have an excel workbook with several sheets. On one sheet I have "details"
with a column identifying "cost centers". In another sheet I want to show the sums of the different cost centers (a summary of the details). Is there a function whereby I can have all the detailed items summed by cost center identification number from the column in the details sheet reflect automatically in the summary sheet? Maybe a simplified example: detail sheet: cc amt 100 5.00 100 6.00 101 1.00 summary sheet: cc amt 100 11.00 101 1.00 Of course, the detail sheet has hundreds of cost centers and many more individual entries. I just want some sort of conditional lookup that will find and sum all like cost center entries. |

Check sumif. Ex: =sumif(Detail!A:A,A2,Detail!B:B). This would look for
matches of cell A2 in column A of the Detail sheet and, where found, sum up the corresponding entries of column B of the Detail sheet. (I think of the arguments to SUMIF as 'where to look, what to find, what to add up'). --Bruce "Ray S." wrote: I have an excel workbook with several sheets.

Another option .. quite ideal to use a pivot table (PT)
(Takes only a few clicks n drags to set-up) In the detail sheet, select any cell within the table Click Data Pivot Table Report Click Next Next In step3 of the wiz.: Drag and drop "cc" within the ROW area Drag and drop "amt" within the DATA area (It'll appear as "Sum of amt") Click Finish The PT will be created in a new sheet just to the left, giving: Sum of amt cc Total 100 11 101 1 Grand Total 12 The PT would provide the summary you want -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- Singapore, GMT+8 xdemechanik http://savefile.com/projects/236895 -- "Ray S." wrote in message ...
