    Question Tagging a column

    I have set up a spreadsheet with a simple sheet1(data!) to show each day, where i worked, how many hours etc, and in the last row i have a tag, a letter "I" if i want to invoice and a letter "P" if i have been paid. On sheet2(invoice!) Its set up as an invoice page (To be printed), taking the information from sheet1 on the lines that contain an "I" i want it to pull that info (i.e where i worked) and place it in 5 rows (normally there are 5 "I"s), (i normally do 5 days). I can get it to sum up the hours i have worked in a week so if there is an "I" with : =SUMIF(Data!H2:H87,"I",Data!B2:B87)
    Sorry this sounds like gibberish but its hard to put into writing...
    i'm a real novice and i think i have bitten off more than i can chew..
    All help really appreciated..

    Your formula sounds correct.

    What is exactly your problem?

    It might help if you upload your WorkBook on http://cjoint.com and post the

    More info

    On my invoice page, i want it to check sheet1(info!) col H for a letter "I" and if there is one i want it to fill in space 1 on sheet2(invoice!) with info from col D

    ie
    A B C D E F
    12/3/2005, 8hours, Brighton, dropped off supplies,wages a, wages b,
    G H
    invoice no, "I"

    it checks for an "I" in col H and fills in "Brighton" on sheet2

    but:
    12/3/2005, 8hours, Brighton, dropped off supplies,wages a, wages b, invoice no. "P"

    puts nothing on sheet2 because theres a "P" not an "I"

    a copy of the spreadsheet is here at my web space:

    Re: Tagging a column

    So ... what is the question?
    You enter a "P", and nothing is carried over to the Invoice sheet.
    Isn't that what you want?

    You don't want to re-invoice an already paid bill ... do you?

    I'm missing what you're asking!

    sorry...

    sorry...(You can see now why i failed my o'level english....)
    This is what i want..

    when i put a tag or letter "I" in a column H, i want the corresponding information in column C to be transfered into a different cell on a different sheet.

    I want to be able to select the info that gets sent to my invoice sheet by putting a "I" in that row.

    I enter day by day the work i have done, on a Friday i enter "I" next to the information of Monday to Fridays work.

    When it generates my invoice, it seems happy to sum all hours up from anyline containing an "I".

    but i need a command like = if on info! (H2 to H100="I" then Invoice! A2 to A8 = info! C2 to C100)

    I print out my invoice sheet and give to the company. It prints out total hours worked from any row that has an "I" next to it, but i cant get it to pull the info from a different colomn and print it on the invoice if theres an "I"

    I think im making this sound really complicated..

    (If you have a spreadsheet and you only want to print out bits of it, if theres an "I" next to it print out whats in row c if not leave blank)

    I think i'm a moron...
    I sure the answer to this is simple...Its just the question thats hard....
