    Question IF for arrays

    I'm working with 2 workbooks. WB1 is an order form that lists products and quantities (via manual data entry). I want WB2 to find all of the entries for one specific product (with multiple entries) on WB1 and populate the sum of the corresponding quantities on WB2.

    For example:
    A B
    Product Quantity
    36ry38 100
    32ry39 120
    36ry38 50

    I want WB2 to find all of the products "36ry38", sum the corresponding quantities (100+50), then produce the resulting value on WB2 (150).

    What is the best way to go about performing this function?

    Re: IF for arrays

    Now here's a curveball that I can't seem to figure out. When this formula produces "0", how can I change the "0" to a blank cell?

    Use conditional format to make fontcolor equal to backgroundcolor if the result is 0

    Format the cell to display blank if the value is 0
    If posting code please use code tags, see here.

    Re: IF for arrays

    Here's a custom format that will hide 0.

    0.00;-0.00;

    You can changet the 0.00 to another number format.
