VLOOKUP?

[Guest]

I'm tyring to use a VLOOKUP formula that will look at a name typed in a cell,
then have it look up that name in a named range and total the amounts
attached to that name. The use is for costing hours spent on a project from
time cards. I'm going nuts trying to figure it out. I know how to use
VLOOKUP but don't know how to get it to add all the hours. Is this the right
funtion to be using?

Column A holds name range
Column B holds amounts
C1: hold criteria

SUMIF(A:A,C1,B:B)

Other way

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5000=C1)*B1:B5000)
