    Sumifs Or Sumif?

    I am trying to create a formula that will return the sum from a column that contains numeric values that correspond to text criteria in another column.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sumif() should do that for you...

    e.g.

    =Sumif(A1:A10,"dog",B1:B10)


    where A1:A10 contain text strings and B1:B10 contain numbers to sum.

    "dog" is the criteria to look for which you can also replace with a cell reference that contains the string.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    couldn't get that formula to work so I tried to create one like your example. It returned a value of zero.
