Hi,
I'm looking for a formula in to display a number (cost) in a specific cell if another specific cell contains text (address).
At the moment I have 4 columns. One for location (E2 : E146), one for Cost (M2 : M146), one with all the addresses (N2:N146) and one for the total cost (Q2:Q146).
I need column M to pull through the cost of column Q if column E contains one of the addresses from Column N.
Hopefully this makes sense as I'm pretty new to excel and formulas.
Thank you in advance.

Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? Please don't attach a picture of one (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).
1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.
2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).
3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!
4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!
Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Thanks for the rapid response Glenn.
I've done as you requested and attached an example for you.
Cheers

I'm not sure how realistic your example is, since the two address columns contain exactly the same data, but, for starters, try this:
=SUMIFS(Q:Q,E:E,N2)
Thanks Glenn, there are two address columns as I needed one to make a list for column E.
They will be mixed up & not in order. I should have noted that in the example. I've attached a better example which may make more sense.
Its a list of requests so there may be multiple of the same and in any which way it comes through.
Does that make more sense?
OK. So does the formula work, or not?? If not, what are they expected answers. It seems OK to me?
Try this in M2, then drag down
=INDEX($Q$2:$Q$10,MATCH($E2,$N$2:$N$10,0))
Pl note
Array formula should be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys together.
If answere is satisfactory press * to add reputation.
Thanks Glenn. That works.
Is there a way to add an additional value onto the output?
Whenever a course type is selected in column B it needs to add a specific amount ontop of the first figure.
For example:
HS131 = £390
HS131A = £390
HS197 = £650
HS197A = £390
HS201 = £650
HS201A = £390
So in row 2 it would need to pull through an additional £390 ontop of the £86.72.
But it could be any of the 6 course types for any row.
Cheers

Is this it?
=SUMIFS(Q:Q,E:E,N2)+VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$7,2,FALSE)
I think I managed to sort my other question.
Added another column for the extra value and added another +sum at the end.
Thanks guys.
Appreciated the help.
