    Welcome to the forum.

    What are you trying to do with this formula? It is completely incorrect. Please explain in WORDS.

    Are you REALLY still on Office 97?

    Re: Keep getting my formula is missing parenthesis

    i have 3 columns

    Values Totals Key
    oh132 26.5 1
    oh3254 26.5 1
    oh34534 22.5 2
    oh2523 21.5 3

    i am trying to produce a formula that will add up the totals of each key if i enter an exact match to the values in a cell

    So if i typre the value oh132 it will add the totals on anything that has a number 1 in the key

    I think you need SUMIFS, but I need to know which version of Excel you are using, please.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    Re: Keep getting my formula is missing parenthesis

    what i am trying to do is match invoice numbers in the Data tab against whatever is typed into the invoice column in the recon tab

    the formula needs to match the number then check the day is correct then total up anything in the paid column and add it to Mondays column these steps would then be repeated for Tuesdays and so on

    Re: Keep getting my formula is missing parenthesis

    I don't see any columns labeled Values, Totals or Key nor do I see any entries that look like oh132 in the file attached to post #6.
    I am pretty sure you are not using Excel 97 as the .xlsx file format was introduced with the 2007 version (prior to that Excel used the .xls file format).
    As for the formula, I feel that it could read (as Ali suggests):
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    As there is nothing in columns P nor V of the EDGE Data sheet I can not test. It would also be helpful to see at least one manually calculated result with which to compare the result of the formula.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
