Excelchat Expert 07/02/2018 - 07:22
and my formula
Excelchat Expert 07/02/2018 - 07:23
sum ups all Cost Per RWC that have APDI-025 in column L
Excelchat Expert 07/02/2018 - 07:24
and 200000918 (conca Number ) in column B in sheet 3
Excelchat Expert 07/02/2018 - 07:24
so the output is again $ 1 020
Excelchat Expert 07/02/2018 - 07:24
everytime when your data will be added
Excelchat Expert 07/02/2018 - 07:25
my formula will do SUM by same method if you put 1 in Type 1 formula
Excelchat Expert 07/02/2018 - 07:25
