Ok, I need to elaborate from my previous e-mail. I have a worksheet that
contains various columns, ex Formula Name, Quantity, Cost ect. I need to add
together the cost per formula name in another cell. Example below

Formula Name Quantity Cost
Apples 1 11.00
Bananas 2 10.00
Apples 50 550.00
Strawberries 15 9.50 So, if I summed
up Apples cost, it would be 561, Bananas would be 10 and Strawberries would
be 9.50. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Assuming your formula name is in column A and the cost is in column C. Try
this...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A10="Bananas")*(C2:C10))

Ok, that works, but now say I don't want to specify the formula name and I
just want it to calculate based off of that entire column containing like 100
or more formula names... is that possible? Thanks so much!!

You can make a list of unique names. that you can do by using advance
filter. Select the range>go to Filter>Advance Filter>check Unique Records
Only>check Copy to Another Location>Choose Location (for example D2).

Once you have that list in column D starting in D2. in E2 enter the formula

=SUMIF($A$2:$A$1000,D2,$C$2:$C$1000)

Or

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$1000=D2)*($C$2:$C$1000))

and drag it down.
