lookup serch term and return sum of all values
I have a spreadsheet that has (among many other things) three columns of data
for one farm. (see abbreviated example below) One is a field identifier, the next the practice occuring on that field, and the next the size of the field. At the end of the ACRES column, there is a total of acres for the whole farm. I want a function that will identify all of the same practice and give me the total of acres for that practice so that I can find what percentage of the practice is occuring over the whole farm. For example, I want a function that will identify all the 441 practices and tell me that there are 19.8 acres of that practice in total. I have tried VLOOKUP to find 441 and return values in the 3rd row, but I could not figure out how to find all the 441's and return the total of acres for that practice. Any ideas? FIELD PRACTICE ACRES a 441 2.1 b 442 13.2 c 443 12.8 d 441 0.5 e 441 17.2 f 443 11.1 TOTAL 56.9 |

What you described is what SUMIF does... =sumif(b2:b10,441,c2:c10). The
second argument is what to look for, the first is where to look for it, and the third is what to add upon finding it.

That is awsome! Thanks so much, that's exactly what I needed.
