I am attempting to calculate if column H has a specific name in it ex. John Smith and then sum column O which has numbers in it. Not sure the best way to accomplish this or what formula to use. Any help would be appreciated!
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"

=SUMIF(H:H,"John Smith",O:O)
