    Re: How to make cell tabulate totals from's TOTALS column based on the CATEGORY column...

    It would help if you attached a sample Excel workbook, as we haven't necessarily seen your other threads.

    To do this, click on Go Advanced (below the Edit Window) while you are composing a reply, then scroll down to and click on Manage Attachments and the Upload window will open. Click on Browse and navigate to (and double-click) the file icon that you want to attach, then click on Upload and then on Close this Window to return to the Edit window. When you have finished composing your post, click on Submit Post. Don't try to use the Paperclip icon, as it doesn't work on this forum.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Thanks Pete,

    I wasn't referencing any particular prior threads. It was just a general acknowledgement of how exceptionally helpful this forum has been for me and my career.

    That said, some creative google searching got me the answer I was looking for.

    If anybody is interested, the function I needed was SUMIF, and the final equations looked like this...
    **Column F: "Category", Column I: "Totals (after tax)"**

    =SUMIF($F6:$F53,"Beer",$I6:$I53)
    =SUMIF($F6:$F53,"Wine",$I6:$I53)
    =SUMIF($F6:$F53,"Liquor",$I6:$I53)
    =SUMIF($F6:$F53,"NA Bev",$I6:$I53)+SUMIF($F6:$F53,"Restaurant Supplies",$I6:$I53)

    Cheers!

    Well, I'm glad you got to the solution yourself. Thanks for the rep (though I didn't really do anything).

    If you had the categories "Beer", "Wine", "Liquor" etc. in a column somewhere, then you could just reference each cell instead of including them explicitly in each formula, and then the formula could be copied down without needing to change it. This wouldn't work for the last formula, though.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Re: How to make cell tabulate totals from's TOTALS column based on the CATEGORY column...

    The reason I did it this way, is because the I'm General Manager making sheets that will be used by my supervisors, all of whom are very limited in their Excel acumen. I've made one "Category" column in which each cell has a drop-down data-validation list of options for ease of use and congruity of records.

    Long story short, I'm making the process of spreadsheet-building more difficult and tedious for myself in an attempt to make the final sheets as user-friendly as possible for my team.
