    SUMIF problem

    I am having a hard time writing this formula. I have two sheets in my xls book. In sheet one I have two relavent columns
    1) shape name and 2) sum of assays

    in sheet two I have two other relavent columns
    1)shape name and 2)assay value

    I am trying to write a formula that populates 'sum of assays' by matching sheet1 shape name to sheet2 shape name and then summing all of the relevant assay values associated with that particular shape.

    I sheet1 I have many different shape names and in sheet 2 I have multiple assays for each shape name. So I am trying to automate this instead of having to sum by hand each one. Any advice would be great! Thanks!

    Try

    =sumif(Sheet2!A:A,A2,Sheet2!B:B)

    Where A2 houses your first shape name in Sheet1 and Sheet2!A:B house your other list...

    revise sheet name and ranges to suit.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
