    Sum finite number of cells based on status of other cells

    Forgive me if I can't explain this well...I have 2 columns of data. The first is a binary value (i.e. " x " or " y "). The second has data. I want to move down the second column and sum all values for which the first column of that row contains one of the binary values (for instance "x"). However, I only want to do this for the first 10 rows that have "x" in the first column, and then stop.

    I attached a very simple example.

    I'm decent with Excel but have been stumped on this one for awhile. Any help is appreciated.

    you can replace the "X" s with cell reference containing an X so that you can change at will
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    To avoid error if there are less than 10 "x" s..

    This will sum all the matches if less than 10 are there....
