SUMIF

Hi Diana,
Thanks for the post, In answer to your question, consider the syntax, =SUMIF(RANGE TO CHECK, CRITERIA, RANGE TO SUM) this will consider a range of cells, look for a particular item, and then total the corresponding cells in another range. It should normally not be necessary to check, for so long as the criteria has correct matches in the range to check, it will work correctly. I hope that helps, it was good to have you on the course, best regards Pete.

Hi again Diana, having had time to consider your question again, perhaps you could use the Conditional Sum Wizard, this is an Add In and like Solver needs to be added to your ribbons. The operation is a wizard so follow the steps, it is similar to a SUMIF but enables you to add more variables. I hope that helps best regards Pete.
