I wish to sum cells in a column according to category in an adjacent
column

Thanks Bob but can I now drop into columns according to other
categories?
In columns X to AC I am adding values from column G according to
category with reference to column D. That part is OK I think, but then
I want to further drop these totals according to category held in row 3
T to AB with reference to the drop down list in column O. If I get the
principle right I can then make it more user friendly. Can anyone help?
What am I doing wrong in cell Z8 which returns "#value"?

Oscar,

Are you saying that you now want to make the sum dependent on two
conditions?

I think it might help if you gave some example data, and required results.

Yes I am Bob, but I do not know how to attach a sample spredsheet of
what I am trying to do. Appologies for my ignorance.
I include the contents of my text box.
Thanks for your interest.:-

Oscar,

That is the same as you used previous post. Why don't you mail me the
spreadsheet and I'll see if I can help then.
