Sum values in one row dependent on a value in a different row
In Row 5 I have 9 cells with the text value of S, W or R, 3 of each - ie S,
R, S, W, W, S, R, R, W. This is a random order that changes in each table. In Row 9 there is a different numerical value in each Cell. I want to sum the cell values in Row 9 that correspond to the 3 columns that have the S, the R and the W in them. I started using an IF fn thus: IF(B5:J5 "(S)", and the test gives me the correct string (True, False, True, True etc) but then I got stuck. I don't think this is the correct function to use, so... How do I get one cell to see what text value (S or R or W) is in Row 5, and sum the 3 resulting cells in Row 9 that correspond to the text value in the same column in Row 5? I think I have over-complicated my question so can clarify if any confusion. Many thanks, Mike |

Sum values in one row dependent on a value in a different row
Try
=SUMPRODUCT((B5:J5="S")*(B9:J9)) And substitute S with W & R Mike "Mike of Tilford" wrote: In Row 5 I have 9 cells with the text value of S, W or R, 3 of each - ie S, R, S, W, W, S, R, R, W.

Brilliant - Thanks. Both suggestions work.

Say you used B1 for your variable: =Sumif(B5:J5,B1,B9:J9) -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Mike of Tilford" Mike of wrote in message ...
