One way to do this is to put in F1:
=SUMIF(B2:B5;E1;C2:C5)
If instead you put:
=SUMIF(B$2:B$5;E1;C$2:C$5)
you can even fill it down column F into F2, giving
=SUMIF(B$2:B$5;E2;C$2:C$5)
Another technique is to put in F1:
=SUMPRODUCT(B2:B5=E1;C2:C5)
or, again,
I have a spreadsheet with values that are categorized, for instance:
Name - Category - Value
lunch - food - 20
fuel - transportation - 100
dinner - food - 20
repairs - transportation - 200
Then I would like to have a sum of values for each category, such as:
food - 40
transportation - 300
Can
Bruno,
Assuming the headers are in row A and the data is in columns 1 thru use:
=sumid(c2:c5,food)

Let's assume these values are in A1 to C5 - so your

How does this second method work? Well, the test of equality gives a
value which can be interpreted as a number: 1 for TRUE and 0

Typo found : switch the B's and C's so that the function reads:
=SUMPRODUCT(C$2:C$7,E1=B$2:B$7)
and it works.
Er, there is no typo, just some confusion on
