    how to sum values by year

    Hi,

    Does somebody knows a formula for this?

    year sold price
    2004 305 11.56
    2006 75 9.8
    2007 98 10.9
    2004 197 4.5
    2005 256 15
    2006 48 7.6
    2004 310 18.9

    Now I need the total amount for 2004 in one cell eg (305*11.56+197*4.5+310*18.9) so which formula can I use for this?

    Thanks in advantage.

    You need SUMPRODUCT

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(year range=2004),--(sold range),--(price range))

    try the following...
    =SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$8=2004),--(B2:B8),--(C2:C8))

    Thanks all for the quick response.

    =SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$8=2004),--(B2:B8),--(C2:C8))
    this works like a charm

    But I want to understand how it works can someone explain it to me?
    Especially what this (--) means.
