I have 2 columns of data. In col B I have a % value; in col C I have various
project names. I need a formula that will show me the total of col B for
each project name in col C. There is no data after col C so I could use
those cols for the results.

col B col C
20% proj A
80% proj A
10% proj B
30% proj B
70% proj B
100% proj C

So my results should be 100% proj A; 110% proj B; 100% proj C. Obviously
the 110% row will require more research on my part...

Thanks so much!

Have you looked in the help index for SUMIF?

Don, yes that's where I started. But I couldn't find assistance for my
specific problem. See my reply to Tim earlier.

this might be what you are looking for. you could then just copy this
formula and change the proj A to proj B, proj C etc. You will have to format
these cells as % as well.
=SUMIF($C$1:$C$6,"proj A",$B$1:$B$6)

Tim, that does work but my list has over 200 projects in it. I was hoping to
avoid having to put the project name itself in the formula. Basically, I'm
trying to validate that all projects in the list total 100%, no less and no
more. Any other ideas?

I assume the Project names are intermingled in the list. What I might do is
to sort according to Project names. Then I would go 'data'...'subtotals' and
at each change in project name sum the %, this should give you a total % for
each project and you can note which ones do not add up to 100.

Tim, that did the trick. Thanks for thinking outside the SUMIF box!!

Set it up like this with a list in col D and col E formatted as %
percent Project
20% A a 100%
80% A b 110%
10% B c 100%
30% B
70% B
100% C

use this
Sub verifytotal()
For Each c In Range("d2:d" & _
Cells(Rows.Count, "d").End(xlUp).Row)
c.Offset(, 1) = Application.SumIf(Columns(3), c, Columns(2))
Next
End Sub
