Question

I have a spreadsheet similar to the one in the screenshot. Current Data

From this I want to sum all the entries in Data 2 which have the same Data 1 ID and store it in another column. So something like this:

The end result

I am not able to figure out the formula which would do this. I figured out how to get a column with unique entries I just need to figure out how to get the sum of the values which have the same data 1 id.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can use SUMIF, e.g. if I'm reading your sheet right, =SUMIF(A$2:A$7, A11, B$2:B$7), and then copy down. This sums the values from B2-B7 whenever the corresponding value in A2-A7 matches A11.

You can find more on SUMIF here.

OTHER TIPS

you may use subtotals function under the Data tab, although it gives you the answer in the row below all the cell matching your id; then you have to click the - and + buttons that appear on the left...you may see these in this picture of my data this is a nice resource when you have non-English characters(á, ó, ß,...), spaces, dashes and points, so it becomes difficult to process with sql
