Counting a cell based on the content of adjoining cell

**themax16** · 06-02-2008, 01:46 PM

Hey,

I am trying to count some numbers from colum (h) but only the ones that have the phrase 'text' in the cell directly next to it ( colum G).
any help would be great.

Thanks

James

Try

=Sumif(G:G,"Text",H:H)

thanks for that, but I think I may have misrepresented my question.
I want each occasion then the word text is in for example G2, the contents of H2 to be replicated I2.

How's this best done?

Thanks again

James

Type the below formula in I2.
It will replicate the content of H2 in I2 if G2 is "Text"

=IF( G2 ="TEXT" , H2 ,"")

This seems to recognise that then 'text' is in the cell that it should do something but leaves the cell containing " " - Nothing rather then a replication of the data in cell H.

Is it just the word "text" that would be contained in G2 or is "text" a substring of what's in G2?

if so, try

=if(Isnumber(search("Text",G2)),H2,"")
