Boolean operator in Excel?

I use excel to keep track of my billing. When I send out an invoice, I put a "n" in a column titled "Have they paid me yet?" and delete the n when the check comes in. I want a formula that looks at that column, and for every n it finds, adds and totals the dollar value of those invoices into another cell. That way I can see how much money I would have if my clients actually paid me on time, and then cry.

Can you write a mock equation for me?

Update:

That was it! Now, as soon as I figure out how to award the points, you get them.

    you can use the sumif() formula

    A1 to A10 has random n and blanks

    B1 to B10 has random amounts

    then copy&paaste this in C1

    =SUMIF(A1:A10,"=n",B1:B10)

    its not case sensitive

    while you are at it, you can count the number of n's with the countif() formula

    =COUNTIF(A1:A10,"=n")

    you would need a true boolean if you added a 3rd criteria like a customer#..in that case sumproduct() would be my formula of choice.
