extracting totals from within a spreadsheet
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A50="x"),--(B2:B50="y"),C2:C50)
will sum C2;C50 where A2:A50 is "x" AND B2:B50 is "y" adapt to fit your requirements if you have excel hours you might want to use a custom format of [hh]:mm or else it will start anew after 24:00 -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Jovetta" wrote in message ...

Jovetta,
See inline. Jovetta wrote: I am still confused. i will try to explain it this way. If column C is true and column E is true and column D is true, If I understand you correctly (& I'm not at all sure that I do), you're trying to apply some kind of conditional formula: IF(some condition is true, value or action if true, value or action if false). It appears that you have multiple conditions to apply. If this is correct, look up IF(), AND(), and OR()functions in Help. Use IF(AND()) if ALL conditions must be met; use IF(OR()) if ANY condition may be met. then i want the total of column C and and a total for column D This is confusing. Do you mean you want to SUM the amount in each column? Or sum the totals from each column? Or most probably, do you want to sum the amount in column C, row x, plus the amount in column D, row x and show the results in, say, column Q, row x? I suspect this is an action that you will want to perform multiple times, varying the criteria each time. In that case, you might want to link your spreadsheet to MS Access and build your query there, or use the MS Query Wizard (PS. MS Query comes bundled with Excel as an optional feature; you may need to install it). LeAnne |
