Adding values from one column based on a value from another column

[agriswold]

Hi everyone-

I am hoping for some help. I have a column of data (AD) that I would like to add, but only if a number (rating) for the data in column C equals a certain value.

For example, if rows 5, 8, 15, and 30 have a rating of 1, rows 6, 7, 10 and 20 have a rating of 2, and rows 9, 11, 18 and 22 have a rating of 3, how do I add the data for all rows in column AD, but only for the rows that have the rating 1?

The goal is to be able to show the total of the data for all three ratings as a percentage of the overall total.

Please let me know if this explanation is confusing or imcomplete, I can try again!

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

Try the sumif function

=SUMIF(C:C,1,AD)

Alternatively the criteria of 1 could be in another cell.

thanks jason and pepe! this is perfect!

now, I have this same set-up on different worksheets in the same workbook; so, how do I add sheet 1 total data for rating 1 + sheet 2 total data for rating 1 + sheet 3 total data for rating 1? seems like it should be a =sum(sumif, sumif, sumif)? but I can't figure out the right formula to make it work!

Thanks so much!

Exactly how you thought, maybe your sheet references were wrong.

=sum(sumif(Sheet1!C:C,1,Sheet1!AD:AD),sumif(Sheet2!C:C,1,Sheet2!AD:AD),sumif(Sheet2!C:C,1,Sheet2!AD:AD))

If your sheet name is numeric or contains spaces then you need to use

'Sheet 1'! in place of Sheet 1! (notice that there are 2 single inverted commas in the first example).
