sum with multipel ifs

[yoelgold]

this is my excel layout. i want a total of the amount field where
description ends with "R" or where description ends with IV OR if it
ends with "R IVY". i tried this =SUM(IF(B2:B40=RIGHT("R"),)*C2:C40) it
gave me 0.00


date description amount
6/10/05 Deposit IV ($961.00)
3/16/05 Deposit M ($5,000.00)

Hi!

Try this:

J1 = R
J2 = IV
J3 = R IVY

=SUMPRODUCT(--(RIGHT(B2:B20,1)=J1)+(RIGHT(B2:B20,2)=J2)+(RIGHT(B2:B20,5)=J3),C2:C20)

I would opt for the easy way and use a helper column (column E) and i
E2 put

=IF(RIGHT(B2,5)="
IVY","Y",IF(RIGHT(B2,2)="IV","V",IF(RIGHT(B2,1)="R","R","")))

and formula copy this to the end of your data in B

then use either 3 sum figures:

=SUMIF(E$2:E$20,"Y",C$2:C$20)

=SUMIF(E$2:E$20,"V",C$2:C$20)

=SUMIF(E$2:E$20,"R",C$2:C$20)

or use 'R' three times in the E column,

=IF(RIGHT(B2,5)="
IVY","R",IF(RIGHT(B2,2)="IV","R",IF(RIGHT(B2,1)="R","R","")))

and just one Sum ='R' if you only need one total.

note, your range was 2:40, but I tested 2:20

Hope this helps
