How to Add cells from 2 sheets but with specific conditions

[Claudio0136]

I would like to know a formula where I can add cells Sheet1(B3)+Sheet2(B3), but only add the ones that have the month of "JAN" on Sheet1(A3) and Sheet2(A3), and ignores the deposits for other months…so that Sheet1(C4)=$50.00

-- removed inline image ---

Thanks in advance!

**Sheet1(A3)=FEB, Sheet1(B3)=$0.00...and
Sheet2(A3)=JAN, Sheet2(B3)=$50.00...
Sheet1(C4)=Total (Sheet1 & 2) January deposits

**I was trying to post with an image of what I am trying to do using paint but no luck.

Hello,

Welcome to the board!

I see you have only listed a few cells for reference, is there columns of data that this would need to be applied to?

If so list the ranges with details.

Also what version of Excel are you using?

Jeff....Thank you for your reply!
It took me some time of trying all kinds of combinations and finally came up with what seems to be working.
=IF(A3="JAN",B3)+IF(Sheet2!A3="JAN",Sheet2!B3)

Have a great week!
