summing formula
I've built a workbook to keep up with purchase/sales of Stocks, to keep up with long & short term Capital/Gains for Tax records. The way that the sheet is built is: A1 thru G2 are used for entering stock purchases; name, date bought, price, # of shares with sum formula for "Total Investment Amount (G2)". Cells H2 thru L2 are used when the Stock is sold (Sale date, number of stocks, price and "Total Investment Amount(L2)"). The last cell, M2, I want to use to show the Capital Gain/Loss for that stock sale. My problem or question is that I don't want Cell M2 to sum unless L2 has value of 0. I've tried the =SUMIF formula and I can't it to work. I can't seem to find a formula that would work. Any suggestions?

summing formula
=SUMIF(L2:L200,"0",M2:M200)

summing formula
Thanks everyone for the ideas. I finally got the formula to work. I was placing the () in the wrong place. the final formula that worked in instance was: *=IF(L20,SUM(L2-G2),0)* and in the cells that I have formatted as Accounting, if l2 =$0.00 M2 comes back with $ -. If l2 is 0, then it will come back as $100.00 (Gain) and ($100.00), which is what I was looking for. I knew I was close, but... just looking at it too long...or it could be that I was brain dead..
