Lookup same word "value" across multiple cells
Hi, I'm wondering if there is a way to lookup every instance of say "blue sheets" in an excel file, move left 2 columns, pick up the numerical value that resides in that column for every instance of "blue sheets" and give a sum total in a cell at the bottom of the sheet? I'm an excel formula "newbie" so please be kind in any explanation. :-) -- chazmac ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chazmac's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28972 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=487042 |

You can do that with sumproduct, but not all instances in an excel file,
this way is for one set of columns. If you want to do it on many columns within a sheet let us know. There's plenty of info on sumproduct online for further education, but what would work is something like: =SUMPRODUCT((F6:F8="blue sheets")*(D6:D8)) "chazmac" wrote in message ...

=SUMIF(E1:E18,"blue sheets",C1:C18) entered in C20 or E20 or wherever you desire. Column E contains cells that have the string "blue sheets" Column C has numerics.
