Sum of Cells in One Range Dependent on Specific Text in a Different Range

**MLCall** · 07-26-2012, 11:31 AM

I am currently using Excel 2010. I need to create a formula that will provide me with a a total of the numbers in the cells in one range that meet the criteria of specific text in a different range. Range X contains the specific text and Range Y contains the numbers that need to be added together if they match the text in Range X.
I tried using SUMPRODUCT as follows but was not successful:
=SUMPRODUCT((RANGE X,"TEXT")*(RANGE Y,"=>1"))
=SUMPRODUCT((RANGE X,"TEXT")*(RANGE Y, =>1))

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
MLCall

Hi can you provide a file with an example, it would be easier to understand.
Thanks

=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B10="TEXT")*(C1:C10>=1))
but you could use countifs
=COUNTIFS(B1:B10,"text",C1:C10,">=1")
mind you this is sum so
=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B10="TEXT")*(C1:C10>=1),c1:c10)
or
=SUMIFS(C1:C10,B1:B10,"text",C1:C10,">=1")

Try - =SUMIF(X:X,"TEXT",Y:Y)

how will sumif work like that? it doesn't distinguish >=1

Martin you are correct. I was trying to keep it simple and based the formula on the criteria as requested in the text.

I tried the SUMIFS version and it worked. Thanks very much.
