    need to get a total pc count of various entries in various rows and columns

    I have a spreadsheet of inventory with multipe part numbers in columns and the piece count in an adjacent column. How can I look up a certain part number and get a total piece count? Thank you for any help!

    Take a look to COUNTIF function.

    Hi. Thank you for responding. Is there anyway you could break this down for me? Say I wanted part #45's piece count. How do I input that into COUNTIF?

    Unfortunately your request is not clear.

    Pls upload a sample workbook.

    You can probably solve this with an pivot table, but as already said,

    you don't add an excel example, so i can't show you.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    Hi nborob

    Suppose you have a list of parts in cells A1:A14 and you wanted to know how parts with part no. #45, were in that list, as Fotis pointed out, use the COUNTIF.

    Or you could have the search criteria in a cell, so you could reference that cell.
    In C1 is #45

    Have a look here.
