Excel question, please help

Hi monkeys,
I am trying to construct an IF formula. I have a set of data of precedent transactions, their value in one column and their industry in another. I need to find the total value of transactions per industry group, so how should I structure this formula as to reference to calculate the total value of transactions depending on industry group?

honestly, I prefer using sumproduct rather than ever using sumif or averageif etc. Sumproduct is one of the most versatile, if not the most versatile, functions in excel so use it whenever possible.

for this situation it would be =sumproduct( (industry1:industry N = industry i)*1, value 1 : value i). Have a list of industry groups that you are summing over and drag it donw.
