Simple Formula (I thought)
Been racking my brains all day on this, I'm sure one of you clever people out there can help me. I need to do a simple calculation based on hourly rates, example as follows. TA bills out at $20 an hour MF bills out at $50 an hour FG bills out at $70 an hour All the above are in the same column of a worksheet....how the hell do I get a total for the above as a grand total. i.e. IF A1 = TA, do a calculation, add to total. IF A6 = MF do a calculation add to total and so on. The initials are in drop down boxes....and the input needs to be simple cos numptys like me have to do this... :) Any help would be very appreciated.

Simple Formula (I thought)
Presumably, you want to multiply by the hours, in column B?
If so, use =SUMIF(A1:A100,H1,B1:B100)*(IF(H1="TA",20,IF(H1="M F",50,IF(H1="FG",70,0)))) where H1 holds the id to calculate. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "csandi" wrote in message ...

Chris AKA Excel virgin A single formula for the Grand Total would be: =SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100={"TA","MF","FG"})*(B1:B100*{2 0,50,70})) However, if your list of initials is in some column named "initials" and your associated list of rates is in some column named "rates", then the following **array** formula might be more flexible for future editing. To enter an **array** formula, hold down <ctrl<shift while hitting <enter. Excel will place braces {...} around the formula. =SUM((A1:A100=TRANSPOSE(Initials))*(B1:B100*TRANSP OSE(Rates))) (If Initials and Rates are in rows instead of columns, you won't need the Transpose Function) --ron |
