HOW CAN I SET UP IF AMOUNT IN COL A = 0 THEN ADD B COL

[a babe in need]

Hi can anyone help me I am trying to work out a VAT return short cut
if my col A has a total of 0.00 in it I want to add its number next door in B
i.e. a1 2.50 b1 3.50 a2 0.00 b2 4.40 a3 3.00 b3 2.00
total I am looking for is 4.40 I hope this makes sense

Not sure if this is what you want, but how about

=SUMIF(A1:A3,0,B1:B3)

Hope this helps,

Hutch

No, this doesn't make much sense to me. If your data is laid out as it
would appear, you would have this:

2.50 3.50
0.00 4.40
3.00 2.00

Do you want to total cells from column B when column A is zero?

If so, then try this:

=SUMIF(A:A,0,B:B)

If not, then please explain your requirements more fully.

Doesn't make sense to me.

Where do you want the total of 4.40 to be entered and how is it derived?

I see no pattern in the column B values that are dependent upon column A
values.

Are you trying to return the value of the cell in B column only if the value
of the adjacent cell in A column is 0.00?
