Hi, I want total amount of Peter

i know I can do =index(B2:B8), match("Peter", A2:A8,0))
Can I do a formula, something like =Sum(index(B2:B8), match("Peter", A2:A8,0)))

so that the result is 9

Thanks

Welcome to the forum

Please attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.

Try this

=sumif(A2:A8,"Peter",B2:B8)
