    Summing Numbers contingent on text

    Hi,
    I am trying to come up with a formula that is contingent on another column.
    I have column A that has text in some of the cells that indicates "L"
    Column B has numbers in every cell.
    What I am trying to get is every time there is a "L" in column A, sum the numbers in column B.

    Col A Col B
    L 20
    5
    L 10

    I am looking for the total to be 30 in column B because it disregarded the blank in col A when summing.

    Hopefully, I making myself clear. Thanks

    Try this:

    =SUMIF(A:A,"L",B:B)
