I’m a designer. I have a list of tasks, with hours, and I’ve split them into milestones. I want to count the number of hours for each milestone.
Here’s a picture:
In other words: I want to look at the value in the M column, if it’s 1, I want to get the cell across it, then repeat down the rows, and sum the whole lot.
See if you can figure that one out with the least cell wastage! 🙂 (This is Numbers for Mac, so no macros or vbscript or what-have-you.)
In Excel the SUMIF formula can be used.

The formula for ‘Milestone 1’ in cell E2 would be:
The syntax of the formula is:
The criteria is determined by using the last character in the ‘Milestone’ heading.
