If statement to total grades

[Cindi]

I'm new at this and I need help totaling grades on a spreadsheet. I want to
say if column A contains any letter grade then add column B to the total.
How can I do this? Thanks.

Is 'the total" for the entire worksheet, or just for a given row?
If the former:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISTEXT(A1:A35)),B1:B35)

adjust the ranges as needed
best wishes
