Sum of values

[jk]

I have column A that contains many account numbers and i have column B which
is a dollar value that corresponds to each account.

A B
10023 $25.00
10024 $20.00
10025 $25.00
10023 $25.00
10026 $25.00
Is it possible to assign cells in column C to sum the amounts which equal
the accounts. For example account 10023 sums up to $50.00 and i would like
each time the account of 10023 is entered into column A ,it would accumulate
the amount in a cell of column C .........can this be done?

The command you need is SUMIF. I will set it to match the range in your
example but you will need to adjust the range to the max number of rows you
will use. There are several ways to do this. But I am going to show you two.

1) Set up this way if you want to enter the account number you wish to sum
and have the SUMIF formula pick read the account number you entered. This
way, you can simply enter an account number you wish to check without having
to change the formula.

Enter the account number you wish to sum in cell C1.
In any other cell you choose, say C3, type the following formula:
=SUMIF(A1:A5,"="&C1,B1:B5)

2) This option means you have to change the search criteria each time you
want to check a different account number. Again, choose any cell you wish to
use. The formula is: =SUMIF(A1:A5,"=10023",B1:B5)

An added feature, if you will, can be to count the number of transactions
for the account you searched. I am going type this formula based on option 1
above. Type in the cell just below SUMIF the following:
=COUNTIF(A1:A5,"="&C1,B1:B5)

Hope that works for you.

Sorry. after reading your request more closely, I see you want to keep track
of ALL accounts. I am not sure how to PULL the accounts from your list
without duplicating. If I figure it out, I will get back with you unless
someone else shows you how.

C1: =A1
C2: =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(0,COUNTIF(C$1:C1,$A$1:$A$20&""),0)),"",
INDEX(IF(ISBLANK($A$1:$A$20),"",$A$1:$A$20),MATCH(0,COUNTIF(C$1:C1,$A$1:$A$2
0&""),0)))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.

Copy C2 down as far as you need

D1: =SUMIF(A:A,C1,B:B)

and copy down

Accounts are duplicated in this column since a data entry person keys the
account for the customers purchase's.I want to be able to sum up any account
regardless how many times it appears in the column. It is a way to have
summed results for each account.Does that help to explain?

Two for sure dumb questions, why have a column "D" if coulmn "A" is for
accounts,column "B" is for corresponding dollar amounts and column "C" is for
the results of sumed account values? Do you hit cntrl shift enter first on a
cell then enter the formula?

When you finish typing in the formula then hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter (not just
enter as you normally would). This makes the formula into an array formula.
You will know if you did it right because in the formula bar the formula will
have curly braces { } around it.
