Hi Nikki,

You don't need VLOOKUP at all, just SUMIF.

=SUMIF(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5,"Product A",Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5)

I have 5 categories that I need to sum but it is on another tab. I can't
remember how to use the Sumif and vlookup formula together.

Product A = 100
Product A = 100
Product A = 300

a vlookup will only give me the first hit but I need all three totals for
product A so Product A = $500 instead of the first one it finds Product A
=
$100
