    Help with a (possibly) sumif formula

    I want to get a total from a column where the adjacent cells match the criteria, but i keep getting a Value error.

    If you use an array formula, you must hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter

    If you not want use an array formula:

    Doesn't look like it needs to be an Array Formula ... it's a simple SUMIF

    Hi,

    See attached.

    Since the names are duplicated you need to create a unique list first as I have done in A40:A45

    Thanks guys, the CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER was the main Problem by the Looks of it.

    if i wanted to add a second criteria from another adjacent column, i would have to add an "AND" clause in there right?

    Re: Help with a (possibly) sumif formula

    You really don't need to use Array Formulae, that is, formulae committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter. You do, as Richard has said, need a list of names.

    In the example provided, a SUMIF works fine. And, if you need extra conditions, you would move up to SUMIFS.

    The more Array Formulae you have the bigger the impact on calculation time, especially as the amount of data increases.

    See the example workbook attached.
