Jenny, I think sumif will do. =SUMIF($A$2:$F$2,A2,$A$7:$F$7) Please put this formula in Column A and copy paste it to entire row, and see u get the results. I have considered the range A:F, modify the same suitably. Regards John Jenny Johnson <jj1@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I'm not sure if I need COUNTIF, SUMIF, LOOKUP or a combination of those. Each column is data about an employee. I want to sum the numbers in row 7 for each of the same type employees. So I have cells for each type, but I can't find a formula that will collect the data. The result would be CIS = 26,357 Counselor = 57,875 Fac. = 32,793 etc. I can get it to find the individual salaries, but I can't get it to pick out all of the counselors an add up those salaries. I have Linda's Book and so if there is a chapter or topic that I need to look at there, I welcome the direction. Thanks for any help you can offer.
