Hey everyone,  I am trying to create a formula for my businesses budget in excel.  ---Basically, I would like to sum every â??gasâ?? expense in column â??Dâ?? (So for every cell that has the word "gas" (D14 = Gas), the formula would pick up the number relating to that gas expense in column E (cell E14 = $35.00). From there I would like to be able to sum all of those cells, and get that total in a cell in column â??Fâ??, row 1.  Can anyone help? Thanks for your time. PS - Are we allowed to have attachments when asking our questions? I know that it would probably be easier to have something to look at..... ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
