Formula for Adding Sums based on Matching

Mallory M.

Hello. I created an example for what I am needing help with. I need a formula that sums a column if the value at the row matches a field in another sheet with my current sheet. In my example, sheet 2 is where the formula will live - I need the grand transaction total for each clothing amount so in this example, the formula for pants should return a grand total of $2,000.

Hi @Mallory M.

This is fairly straightforward to put in Sheet 2:

=SUMIF({Clothing Item}, [Clothing Item]@row, {Transaction Total})

The cross sheet references in { } brackets refer to the relevant column on Sheet 1.

Result from sample data:

Hope this helps, but if you've any problems or questions, then just post! 🙂

Thank you so much! I kept putting an "=" in front of the criterion portion. Much appreciated @Nick Korna !!
