Selecting specific text and suming the results.

[mozahra]

Dear All,

Thanks in advance for your time to help me with my inquiry.

I have some expenses data where I want to select common or close text from a list and sum the amount spent for a specific month "Mar". Then I will work on creating a dashboard out of it.


Example of output required.

ENOC SITES : 140 ARE. [ Data below is having different Site numbers, but I want to group them all together]
SHARJAH CO-OP : 260 ARE.

9-Mar-17	ENOC SITE 1032 DUBAI UAE	ARE	95.01
8-Mar-17	SHARJAH CO-OP, HALWAN SHJ ARE	ARE	16.95
6-Mar-17	AL ZAJIL FAIRS MANAGEM SHARJAH ARE	ARE	100.00
6-Mar-17	AL ZAJIL FAIRS MANAGEM SHARJAH ARE	ARE	90.00

Welcome to the Board!

Can you tells us what the expected results of your example is, and explain the logic behind it?

Perhaps you are looking for the SUMIF or SUMIFS formulas.
See:

and

Thanks Joe4.

I want Excel to through the column that has the text and pick all text that are common, for instance ENOC / Sharjah / AL SHAAB and sum all the spent amount together. Means the output will be

ENOC SITES : 140 ARE
Sharjah : 2000 ARE.
AL ZAJIL : 350 ARE.

Thanks for your support and I hope am clear enough.
awaiting your kind response.

Regards

Thanks Dear,
As I motioned they are just examples. you got it right. If I want excel to consider either EONC / ADCO (Name of petrol stations) text. How would I do this as per your formula.

 

[63falcondude]

If I want excel to consider either EONC / ADCO (Name of petrol stations) text.

I don't know what this means. In your example, I do not see "EONC" or "ADCO".

Hi 63Falcondude,
My bad, its a typo, I mean ENOC/ ADNOC.

Dear 63falcon,
Thanks once again for your support. I have filtered the data I have previously given to show more what I would like Excel to do for me. I would like Excel to get the sum of all ADNOC or ENOC petrol stations only from the given data.

Regards.

Petrol Station Expenses(ADNOC + ENOC)

[63falcondude]

Oh so you want to take the sum for ADNOC and ENOC. In that case, try this:

=SUM(SUMIF(B:B,{"ENOC*","ADNOC*"},D:D))
