I want to run a formula that checks each cell between say F2 and F8, and if they match the relative cell in column B, it adds those cells together, and outputs in cell F9.

Example expected result:

|B2 - 5 |  |F2 - 10|
|B3 - 6 |  |F3 - 6 |- Match
|B4 - 9 |  |F4 - 9 |- Match
|B5 - 12|  |F5 - 15|
|B6 - 2 |  |F6 - 2 |- Match
|B7 - 14|  |F7 - 14|- Match
|B8 - 1 |  |F8 - 7 |
|B9 -   |  |F9 - 31|- Output Cell

Edit: I left the part out where I ask if this is even possible. Silly me. So yeah, is this sort of formula possible on Google Sheets, or am I better off trying something else?

The formula you would use is:

=ArrayFormula(SUM(IF($B2:$B27=K2:K27,$B2:$B27,"")))

  • I've applied this formula to the spreadsheet, but it's producing wildly incorrect results. screenshot The green highlighted numbers are the ones that match the cell in column B, red do not. The formula is applied to the bottom of each column EXCEPT for column B (which has its own =SUM). The expected outcome is that the bottom cell would be the sum of the green numbers, while ignoring red numbers

  • I had completely misread your question. The formula is now fixed.
