Does Word have something like SUMIF in Excel?
I'm trying to sum a table column based on information contained in another
column. Does Word have a function similar to the SUMIF function in Excel? |

tj3993 was telling us:
tj3993 nous racontait que : I'm trying to sum a table column based on information contained in another column. Does Word have a function similar to the SUMIF function in Excel? No. But you can build an IF field that would work. Nested IF fields are allowed in Word, just as in Excel. {IF {SUM(abc)}= 123 "Output this" "Else output this"} or {IF [This]= "That" "{SUM(abc)}" "Else output this"} etc. -- Salut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP ISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org |

I don't think so. You can use cell ranges in forumlat fields. For example,
say you want to sum column a rows 1 trough 5 in cell b1. In b1, put the field {=sum(a1:a5)} -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP A Peer in Peer to Peer Support tj3993 wrote: I'm trying to sum a table column based on information contained in another column.

Merci. I understand what you wrote, but I'm not sure how to apply it to what
I am doing. Here is what I am trying to do. I have rows of items that are categorized (for argument, let's call them "A", "B", and "C"). I want to create totals by category. In Excel, to sum all records in Category "A" I would type: =SUMIF(B1:B100, "A", C1:C100), where B1:B100 contains the category for each record and C1:C100 contains the value for each record. Is this possible to do? |

Why don't you simply perform your calculations in Excel and paste the link
from Excel into Word? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org tj3993 wrote: Merci.

Hi tj,
Word doesn't have anything equivalent to a SUMIF function, though you could build up an approximation for testing numeric values via something like: {=IF(B14,C1,0)+IF(B24,C2,0)+IF(B34,C3,0)+IF(B4 4,C4,0)} However, I note that you're possibly trying to test whether the data in Column B is a letter (or alhpa-numeric string). The standard column & row cell referencing does not work with text strings, including dates and other mixed alpha-numeric character strings. To refer to a character string in a cell, the character strings (not the cells) must be individually bookmarked and the bookmarks referred to in the formula. For what you're trying to do, this might be a lot of work - a macro (or a link to an Excel workbook with the SUMIF implementation) would be far better. Cheers "tj3993" wrote in message ... Merci.
