Sum by Cost Center

[Ross]

I have a workpaper that lists employees, their salary and the % of time they
work in a cost center. The employee's salary is multiplied by the % of time
to determine the cost center expense. There are over 200 employees that
divide their time to various cost centers.
What I need to is get a sum of the expnse by cost center. Is there a fuction
that would total the expense by cost center for a range.

Hi,

Please show us an example of the data layout. Probably you want SUMIF or
SUMIFS or SUMPRODUCT.

SUMIF(CostCenterRange,A1,SumRange)

where A1 has a cost center name or number or whatever.

Or you could use a pivot table.

Hi,

You can also use Data > Subtotal. Bur before doing so, please sort the Cost
Centre column in ascending order.
