I need a formula to combine D2 to D100 to add together a column of numbers, then take away the same amount on the same row when column E is filled.
i.e. column D is a price of an item, so the formula must calculate the total, then when the item is sold an 'a' is marked next to the item in column E, the formula then must deduct this amount from the total

A's marked in column B, the amounts next to them in column A need to be deducted from the total in A12

in A12

So basically its a list of prices for an item in stock
User
27/07/2018 - 07:59
A12 is the total amount of money I have in stock
User
27/07/2018 - 07:59
when column B has an 'a' entered in it means that item is sold
User
27/07/2018 - 08:00
so the amount needs to be taken away from the total so I know how much money I have in stock
Excelchat Expert

So, A12 is SUM of A2:A11-SUM of those have a in column B?
User
27/07/2018 - 08:01
Yes
Excelchat Expert
27/07/2018 - 08:01
=SUM(A2:A11)-SUMIF(B2:B11,"a",A2:A11)
Excelchat Expert
