How to use Summary to show the total of one column only if a specific drop down is selected
Hello,
I am wanting to create a summary for a sales sheet.
I have several selectable items on my sales sheet and would like to summarise how many of those individual items have been sold.
I have a drop down for several items and then record how many of that item is required in quantity.
I don't want to record the total in the quantity column just the total of the numbers in the quantity when a specific item is selected.
So I can have a different summary for the amount of each item sold and then another that would calculate the total $ value for all of that item sold.
I can't just count the item as quantity will vary and I don't want to use a seprate column to record each item type but that is the only way I can think to count a column without being able to count cells in a column based on another columns cell contents
Is this possible?
Appreciate any help!
Cheers,
