Hi, hope someone can help.

I'm looking to get the J column to work out the total for days and nights for each department.

So far I have

=COUNTIFS(C4:C11,"*DAYS*",D4:D11,"*Dept 1*")>0

But I can only get to TRUE or False but it to obviously add each instance together.

Hope that makes sense...with my attached mini sheet.

Thanks

Thanks.

Sorry I've probably not explained myself very well.

I want any time "Days" or "Nights" is mentioned with the correct department I want the hours associated with each department added to either the days or nights adjacent cells in the red highlighted cells in my example above.

Thanks again though.

Ok, you need to use sumifs in that case like
Excel Formula:
=SUMIFS(B4:B11,C4:C11,"*DAYS*",D4:D11,"*Dept 1*")
