if column b* contains "october income", then fill current cell with $ amount in same row that contains "october income" with column h data

[Jilldoorcreek]

I'm putting together Quickbooks reports into one spreadsheet for each group within our church. I'm having the offerings and expenses listed by month at the top of the page. Within the report, it will have "October income" (or whatever month) in column b. I want to have the total $ which is in column h -- I want that to populate the October income cell in the summary at the top of the page. Please help? Many thanks.

try posting a sample of your data, and what you would like to do with it

Am I oversimplifying your question in asking if you can't just use a simple vlookup formula?
