I have a table that has numerous columns. I need to calculate the total number of units used when the combinations of Cells A and B Appear. For example

Column A Column B Column C
Original Lights Upgraded Light No. of Lights installed
A B 100
A C 50
C F 60
A B 50
D E 125
C F 55

I want in the new worksheet to return something similar to the following:
Column A Column B Column C
Original Lights Upgraded Lights No. of Lights installed
A B 150
A C 50
C F 115
D E 125

I hope that makes sense

Hi,

Use the formula:

=SUMIFS(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$7,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7,A2,Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7,B2)

The sample file is here:

Hope this helps.

Thanks Zohaib

One other thing, do you know how I can get the type of lights to appear, so that I don't have to type each light type in before calculating the table?

Hi BecSimmo,

Do you mean it should appear in the following format?

No. of Lights installed
150 B
50 C
115 F
125 E

If yes, check this formula:

=SUMIFS(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$7,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7,A2,Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7,B2)&" "&B2

Sample file is here:

Hope this helps.

Sorry, I am not very good at explaining this.


Column A Column B Column C
Original Lights Upgraded Light No. of Lights installed
A B 100
A C 50
C F 60
A B 50
D E 125
C F 55

I want in the new worksheet to return in Column A the first combination of (returning what the original light was), Column B would return the upgraded light type of the combination, with column C returning the No. of Lights installed in that combination
