referencing the "text" within a cell for =SUMIFS search

**deej360** · 01-08-2020, 07:02 PM

Hi,

I am doing a simple =SUMIFS formula to sum all the sales for a particular item but don't want to manually type in the item name.

formula is =SUMIFS(!A:A,!B:B,"text")

Column A is the qty of items sold
Column B is the list of various item sold which I am searching through
"text" is the item name I am searching for

For "item name" I have to manually enter this.

How do I reference this to a particular cell which contains the item name? This will allow me to avoid manually typing each item name in as the item list exists so I can drag this formula to repeat for all 100's of items.

Thanks

Something like

Formula:

 =SUMIFS(!A:A,!B:B,C1)
