    Exclude item cost from sum column by identifying text from that in a different column?

    Hi,

    In my sum total, is it possible to exclude an items value by its name in a different column?

    For example: Exclude the cost of the Banana" (B3) from the running total (C6)

    I hope that's clear

    Many thanks

    Hi Doobies,

    The SumIf() formula will work for you. In your example put this in C6

    =SUMIFS(C1:C4,B1:B4,"<>bannana")
