Sum by Cost Center

[Ross]

I have a workpaper that lists employees, their salary and the % of time they
work in a cost center. The employee's salary is multiplied by the % of time
to determine the cost center expense. There are over 200 employees that
divide their time to various cost centers.
What I need to is get a sum of the expnse by cost center. Is there a fuction
that would total the expense by cost center for a range.

Use SUMIF in this forma
*=SUMIF(Range to look at for cost centre,Cost centre,Range to sum)

Hi,

Please show us an example of the data layout. Probably you want SUMIF or
SUMIFS or SUMPRODUCT.

SUMIF(CostCenterRange,A1,SumRange)

where A1 has a cost center name or number or whatever.

Or you could use a pivot table.

Hi,

You can also use Data > Subtotal. Bur before doing so, please sort the Cost
Centre column in ascending order.
