i have a spreadsheet that lists by salesman po's and their value. how do i
create a formula so that i can add all the rows just for a particular
salesman. i do have the drop down list on the salesman header.

One way:

=SUMIF(A:A,"Joe",B:B)

if you want to do this for all of your salesmen, this is a perfect
application for a Pivot Table:

Thankyou very much for this link,
It has been on my agenda for some time.

I am apprehensive, and have feelings akin to
my first leap into space from the 7 metre diving board
when I was a kid.

I suspect, like after your first dive, you'll wonder why you were
apprehensive after you play with the PT for a while.
