Hello,
Is there a formula that can calculate the sum of cells from one column if the value in another specific cell equals x (or not blank)? I tried =SUMIF(A:A,"x",B:B) but that didn't do it.

For example:
column A
5
10
5

column B
x
<blank>
x

The sum should be 10.

Thanks!

Put this in a column other than A or B as you will get a circular reference error.
=SUMIF(B:B,"X",A:A)

Hopefully that works. I've not had a lot of lucky with these questions lately.

Thank you! That worked.
