I have a sheet that I'm calculating particular costs. These costs have associated labels to them: Manufacturing, Variable, Both, Neither. I have created a drop down list for next to the costs that selects these categories, what I want to do is in a separate cell, calculate the sum of costs based on the labels: (to calculate variable costs i need to add categories Variable and both, etc). Any ideas?

SUMIF should work just fine for this.

Let me know if you need suggested syntax.
