SUMIF based on adjacent text value

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum although back in the day I was part of the old excel-l and excel-g mailing lists...I guess so will a lot of you have been??

Anyway, I'm a bit rusty these days and I'm trying to find a way to sum the values in one column, based on a text qualifier in the adjacent column.

My data rows have number values and a text value (a classification, "c" or "s"). I want to separately sum the values for all the c's and all the s's.

Any ideas?

Kind regards
Greg

ahhhhhh - "I see", said the blind man!! That's what the third argument is for.

Many thanks!!

Cheers
Greg
