    IF funcition question

    OK I have one more and I am done with this spreadsheet.. I appreciate everyones help with this.

    I need to total random cells in a single column.

    Since I am not sure what the formula is I will spell what I want to do
    A B C D
    FALSE(formula) 193,700
    NOT TRUE 182,800
    FALSE 178,200
    TRUE 195,500

    I want to add all totals in column D that correspond to "False" in column B
    These could be scattered throughout column D and not in order.

    Basically I need to be able to put in a formula that looks at column B and says if the cell in cloumn B has false then sum the corresponding number in cloumn D with all other cells showing false in column B.

    Does this make sense???

    Try:

    =Sumif(B:B,FALSE,D:D)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    IF formula attachment as requested.

    Attached File shows my dilemma.

    I want the formula to look for all "False" and total the amounts in column D that correspond to the "False in column B

    I want to be able to do this with each catagory I have in Column B
    False, True, Empty.


    Thanks for all of your help

    IF Questio Re-Worded

    In column A & B I have the following
    Column A Column B
    True 100
    False 50
    True 800
    False 25

    I am trying to create a formula that says Take all cells that have false in them in the entire A Column and add(sum) the corresponding numbers in Column B

    I am doing this in a summary cell G4

    Does this make sense.

    TRUE and FALSE are the special values in excel, true is just text

    sumif(B:B,"true",D:D)

    may give you the answer, but having a mixture of FALSE and true is not a good idea

    Does that help

    regards
