I have a worksheet with two columns of data, (Earnings, and Category). I
need help in using the SUMIF function or SUMPRODUCT to calculate the
total from column A for a group of specific catergories. (i.e. category
1 or 2 or 3). I need to be able to total the earnings for all records
that are in category 1, 2 or 3 and not in catergory 4 or 6. Using the
below example, I would expect the result to be $48.

Column B Column C
Earnings Category
$10
1
$11 2
$12 1
$15 3
$9
4
$10 6


Thanks for the help

try
=sumproduct((rngb={1,2,3})*rngA)

Thanks for the quick response, however, I must be doing something wrong,
I keep getting the error #Name? Any Ideas?

What Don Guillett gave should work ..
=sumproduct((rngb={1,2,3})*rngA)

I keep getting the error #Name?

Think you didn't adapt "rngb" and "rngA" in Don's formula to suit ..

Maybe try this translation:

Put in say, D2: =SUMPRODUCT((C2:C100={1,2,3})*B2:B100)

Adapt the ranges: C2:C100, B2:B100
to suit

Thanks Don and Max

Your solutions worked perfectly after I adapted the range. I
misinterpreted the initial formula that Don gave me. Thanks again

Sorry about the confusion. I often name ranges
