    PLEASE HELP! SUM formula for certain figures in a column?

    Hi,

    I want to calculate the sum of a column but I have 4 lots of figures going down the column and I only want it to calculate the some of 2 of those 4.

    The 4 figures: £4.80, £3.80, 31 & 25.

    These 4 figures are within the column multiple times and I just want to have one cell that sums up the £3.80's and £4.80's within the column and then another cell to do a separate sum of the 25's and 31's.

    Is this possible, if so how? Does it require an IF SUM formula of some sort?

    Thanks,
    Sally

    Try using SUMIF like this

    =SUM(SUMIF(A:A,{31,25}))

    &

    =SUM(SUMIF(A:A,{3.8,4.8}))

    assumes data in column A

    Try something like this...

    =SUM(SUMIF(A2:A15,{31,25}))

    Thanks sooo much for your help guys!

    With your help I've managed to get it to work. I decided to split the £3.80 & £4.80 in the end so my 3 formulas now look like this:

    For a single criteria you don't need the SUM function:

    =SUMIF('£ - 2014'!K10:K780,4.8)

    =SUMIF('£ - 2014'!K10:K780,3.8)
