ADDING NUMBERS IN A COLUMN

[cb]

Ai HAVE DOWNLOADED A REPORT FROM PAY PAL. IT DOES NOT GIVE ME TOTAL SALES ALL
IN JUST ONE COLUMN.

IN THE COLUMN ARE SALES AND REFUNDS, WITHDRAWALS, WEB PAYMENT ACCEPTED,
ECHECK RECEIVED ETC ETC, FOR THE NEXT COLUMN WITH THE NUMBERS, IT IS
APPEARING AS MINUS AND CREDITS. HOW DO I ADD ALL THE SALES AND THEN ADD ALL
THE CREDITS.

IN THE ROWS ARE PERSONAL NAMES, IT SAYS REFUNDS AND THE NAME, AND FOR THE
SALES, IT JUST SAYS THE NAME.

THEY HAVE ALSO PLACED THE WITHDRAWALS AS WELL AS RECEIVED PAYMENTS IN THE
SAME COLUMNS SO IF I AM ADDING ALL THIS UP THERE MAY BE DUPLICATES. I DID AND
AUTOSUM OF HIGHLIGHTING THE COLUMN AND IT DOES NOT SEEM CORRECT

THEIR FILE LOOKS LIKE AN ABSOLUTE MESS

First.........please lose the Caps Lock.......hard on the ears and difficult to
read.

To find sum of credits =SUMIF($A$1:$A$10,">0",$A$1:$A$10)

To find sum of debits =SUMIF($A$1:$A$10,"<0",$A$1:$A$10)

Other than that, hard to tell what your "absolute mess" needs to get
straightened out.

What am I to replace in this formula? All the numbers are different in 408 rows

 

[Gord Dibben]

408 rows in the same column?

Or in multiple columns?

Assuming one column.................

=SUMIF($A$1:$A$408,">0",$A$1:$A$408)

If multiple columns please post where your data is located.

Thanks for your replies
this is the figure I received
15216607
cannot be correct- perhaps maybe 152 thousand at the most
I placed the formula in the formula bar and clicked the check mark- not sure
where and or if the cursor is to be somewhere?

 

[Gord Dibben]

Copy the formula to an unused cell.

Don't know what checkmark you are referring to.

Copied formula to an open cell beneath the column I want to add- still get
the same figure-

the check mark I was referring to is on the open menu bar above the actual
sheet . There is a x, check mark and a fx sign to the right of that is the
blank space to place the formula as I did that before and got that high
number.
I am assuming I just hit enter and it will formulate?

 

[Gord Dibben]

Type or copy the formula to an empty cell and hit ENTER key.

Not being able to see your data, I have no idea whether your formula returns the
correct results or not.
