Conditional Summing reminder/refresher (please!)
I've got about 500 rows of data with about a dozen columns. There are
about 100 "items" in the column "A", repeated several times each (hence the 500 rows), with different rows of data each time I want to be able to sum up each column for each entry in A I've already used advanced filter - copy list - unique records only, so I've set up a unique list of "items", I just want to now be able to say "look through the 500 rows, every time you find THIS item name, sum THIS column) So I will end up with a unique list of items, and a sum total of the values in each column for that item only I couldn't remember how to use SUMIF properly, or maybe it needs an array formula or that clever one SUMPRODUCT? |

Whilst I do use sumproduct at times, I feel that a pivot table with Col A as the rows, and each of the other columns as the data field (sumof) would be a better solution.

Hi Lee
Sounds an ideal problem for using a Pivot Table. For help on setting up Pivot Tables take a look at Debra Dalgleish's site http://www.contextures.com/tiptech.html and scroll to section on Pivot Tables http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Pivots/pivotstart.htm There is also an excellent video tutorial at Mike Alexander's site http://www.datapigtechnologies.com/ExcelMain.htm http://www.datapigtechnologies.com/f...es/pivot1.html -- Regards Roger Govier "LeeHarris" wrote in message oups.com...

Sounds like SUMIF to me
=SUMIF($A:$A,$M1,B:B) just copy down and across -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "LeeHarris" wrote in message oups.com...
