automatically. please help me to sort out this. thanks in advance.

Do you mean..

Formula in cell C1 with ColA and B with data

=A1&"(" & SUMIF(A:A,A1,B:B)&")"

 

[L. Howard Kittle]

Try this.
A1 to A5 has your months listed.
B1 to B5 has your values listed
F1 is the month you want to "SUMIF" , Jun or Dec.
(Can be a drop down data valadation list or just enter the month.)

In D1 enter this formula:

=F1&" "&SUMIF(A1:A5,F1,B1:B5)

Returns "Jun 172"

HTH

Howard
