In Excel, sum all values in one column in each row where another column is a specific value

Question

I\'m wondering if there is an easy way to do what I\'m looking for. Basically, I have a balance sheet in Excel 2011 with a bunch of data. One specific piece of information I alw

Answer 1

If column A contains the amounts to be reimbursed, and column B contains the "yes/no" indicating whether the reimbursement has been made, then either of the following will work, though the first option is recommended:

=SUMIF(B:B,"No",A:A)

or

=SUMIFS(A:A,B:B,"No")

Here is an example that will display the amounts paid and outstanding for a small set of sample data.

 A         B            C                   D
 Amount    Reimbursed?  Total Paid:         =SUMIF(B:B,"Yes",A:A)
 $100      Yes          Total Outstanding:  =SUMIF(B:B,"No",A:A)
 $200      No           
 $300      No
 $400      Yes
 $500      No
