Find the name of an item and pull the number on the column beside on the right
Hello Everyone,

I am almost bald because of this problem!

We are using the forms to enter pie orders to a spreadsheet but the orders can be several different pies in one column, i need to count each particular pie that can be in 4 columns (see attached)

Employee NameOrder Number:Pickup DATEPickUp TIMEPurchase 1QtyPurchase 2Qty 2Purchase 3Qty 3Purchase 4Qty 4
Pumpkin PieApple pieCherry Pie

???????
Test1234711/26/13PMApple Pie1Pecan Pie2Pumpkin Pie2Cherry Pie2



Antino1234911/26/13AMPecan Pie1Pumpkin Pie2Coconut Custard1Apple Pie2




I need to figure out how to search for Pumpkin Pie in the Purchase columns and then get the quantity to the right of the found column.

So search Purchase 1 for Pumpkin Pie in the Purchase1 to Purchase4 columns and if found in any column, give me the total of the Qty1 thru Qty4.

is that possible?

if it doesn't find it - put a Zero or blank 

please help,

thanks in advace,
Jorge Garcia
