    using IF formula to extract data

    Hi everyone

    Sorry if this has been asked before - i tried to look but couldn't find it so here goes.

    I am seeking to use excel to take data from a column (say C) on Sheet A and transpose it to column E on sheet B but only if the names match. I am attaching an example.
    On Sheet A I have put in 4 people - A and B has their first and last names and Sheet B I have put the same names and additional names. I want the data in column C in Sheet A to transfer to Sheet B against the same people's names in Column E. Where the name doesn't match - the column E should be empty.
    As people can have same first or last name, need the formula to check both first and second name columns before confirming a positive match and transferring data to sheet B against the same people's name in the corresponding column

    Hope that makes sense

    thanks

    welcome to the forum. and good job for posting a sample excel file. another thing you could do is to input the desired answer so that we don't have to second-guess if what we are doing is correct or not. you may look at my signature to upload an eg that is easier to understand.

    try this in Sheet2 cell E2
    =SUMIFS(Sheet1!C:C,Sheet1!A:A,A2,Sheet1!B:B,B2)

    Re: using IF formula to extract data

    Thank you for this - I actually now realize my example is not fully accurate - sorry!!

    In the sheet 2, the names are in one column in my workbooks and they need to remain in one column

    So the data from two columns in sheet 1 will need to be compared against a single column in sheet 2
