When you do a v look up, how can you sum if you have more than one row with the same name.

For instance:

Column A Column B
ExampleA $200
ExampleB $300
ExampleA $100

So if i do a
=VLookUp(ExampleA,spreadsheet,A:B,2,0)
=200

How can I do to get 300 which is the total of ExampleA

Please help.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

Try:
Code:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A:A="ExampleA"),B:B)

Hi,

You can use SUMIF:
Code:
=SUMIF(A1:B3,A1,B1:B3)
