Formula question

[elpresidente]

I'm racking my brain trying to figure out a formula that will perform the following: I have expense/income codes set up for my business such as fuel is code 10, labor is code 20, deposits are code 50 and so on. Let's say cell A2 has a 10(for fuel code) in it and B2 has a dollar amount that reflects A2. I need a formula that will find all 10's and sum the corresponding cells that reflect the dollar amounts. I'm sure it's a simple formula but I need some help. I'm comfortable with Excel but a formula rookie. Thanks in advance and if I get rich I'll send you a consulting fee!

=sumif(a2:a2000,"=10",b2:b2000)

So:

first part is range where condition lies
second is condition
third is what cells to add if condition is true

Hello elpresidente
Welcome to the Board!

Several ways to get what your are looking for....one way using the consolidate technique Data | Consolidate | set your range ok

other methods ....pivot table....=SUMIF

using the wizards should give you some help
