Sumif multiple text values

I would like to sum the values of cells in a column where corresponding cells in another column equal any one of five or so text values.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks XOR LX.

That did the trick except the ranges seemed to be swapped.

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(range_in_which_to_search_for_criteria,range_which_holds_5_criteria,range_to_sum))

Seemed to function as desired.

Thanks again!
