Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc 6.0.6.2 IF criteria statement help

My apologies Remy et al,

You are correct regarding the earlier post and despite the many 
possibilities, this issue still plagues me.

Unfortunately my Internet has been down a week so hence the late reply.

I did try your proposed solution however on further investigation into 
the formula used, you seemed to mis-understand the requirement, possibly 
due to poor explanation. I was therefore unable to get it to work but 
thank you for the effort.

My issue now is that whilst I have identified a formula that `works', I 
need to get the right method of specifying that the INT value must be 
EQUAL to a value on another sheet BEFORE advancing with the next formula 
argument i.e.

IF an INT formula value of data, on EVERY cell in a column on Data 
sheet, equals a cell from the Summary sheet, then sum the values located 
in a corresponding column on the Data sheet, provided the value in 
another column is either "N" or blank.

vlookup comes to mind as does IF, INT and AND but despite numerous tries 
the syntax still gets in the way.

Regards
Hylton
