I am facing a problem that seems trivial in Excel. What I need to do is simply this:

In short, I have a large file of prices linked to a few people and I need to know how much each person paid. I've tried things with VLOOKUP with not much success.



How can I accomplish this?

You need SUMIF() formula.



In your specific case =SUMIF(B$2:B$9;D4;A$2:A$9) will give you the sum for Name1 then paste it down for Name2 and Name3

    SUMPRODUCT function can help you get the result:



    =SUMPRODUCT(($B$2:$B$9=E4)*($A$2:$A$9))
