Extract & Combine Values based on a column value?
Hi,
I am building a spending tracker and have a function that I can't quite work out.
Excel Function.PNG
In the image above, what I am trying to do is.. the left hand blue table will contain all the items that I have spent money on and will be categorised with an option from the drop down box.
In the table on the right for each category I want to calculate the combined value of all rows of items that fall under each category.
Is this possible? If so how would I do this?
Appreciate the help.
Welcome to the forum.
There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.
A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
