    Sum with VLOOKUP? - Calling values by categories

    Hello - I am trying to figure out how to call out a group of cells and sum them that have the same name.

    For example.

    I am on TAB A trying to put together a Summary Tab.
    on Tab B Is a list of values for 5 categories (let's say apple, orange, banana, etc.).

    I want to say "Hey tab b, if the word apple is in Column A, look at column X for the value and sum all of those).

    Does that make sense? How do I do that?

    Thanks, Keri

    maybe sum(if....
    A1=banana
    =SUM(IF(category=A1, column to sum))
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Regards,

    Hi

    Why Vlady's formula, does not works for you?

    In Excel,if we want to say:


    "Hey tab b, if the word apple is in Column A, look at column X for the value and sum all of those)", then we say.
