Formula or VBA help

[Guest]

I was wondering if there's a formula or code that could give the correct
result to the following:

I want to be able to add the corresponding amount from column C whenever
column A ends with the word Sum. In my example below the answer would be
5000.00. I thought about using the right function and then the sumif
function but I'm hoping there's an easier way.

Column A Column C
04-400-0527. Sum 1000.00
04-400-0528. Sum 1000.00
04-400-0529. 1000.00
04-400-0530. Sum 1000.00
04-400-0531 1000.00
04-400-0534. Sum 1000.00
04-400-0544. Sum 1000.00

try
=sumproduct((right(a2:a22,3)="sum")*c2:c22)

Gilbert,

You can do this quite easily using 'if' and 'right' functions.

In cell 'D1' enter the formula:
=IF(RIGHT(A1,3)="Sum",C1,0)

and then drag it down the rest of the column

This will put the value of in column C into your cells if the phrase 'Sum'
is present, all you then need to do is an autosum on column 'D' to get the
sum of the values.

Thanks a lot to both of you. The sumproduct is pretty nifty. Could you
please explain it?
