    Help: Formula issue

    I have a drop down list with five text options in collumn A. In collumn F I have numbers. I need to make a cell that will equal the sum of the numbers in collumn F that have a specified text in collumnA within the same row.

    Thanks for any help.

    John

    =SUMIF(A:A,"=cat",F:F)
    or if your going to use another cell with the word in say e1
    =SUMIF(A:A,"="&E1,F:F)

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum Rules. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.
