COUNTIF

I trying to create two linked two workbooks, one with employees on vacation and one with a running total of the employee's vacation used. I am using this formula:

=countif('[vacation calendar.xls]jan.'!$a$1:$j$100,"name of employee")*8

However not all employees use 8 hours of vacation time, how can I reference the cell that has the actual hours taken?

Thanks......Brian

Unsure about what you want. Care to post 5 rows from vacation calendar.xls]jan.'!$a$1:$j$100 along with an expected result?

Vacation Calendar is broken by days along with other info such as work assignments etc.:
jan worksheet jan 1
a1 employee name
b1 hours of vacation
c1 start time
d1 work assignment

Second workbook is a Master list of employees with various info such as ytd overtime worked, ytd total of vacation taken etc. I would like to link the employee name and hours of vacation taken from the calendar to the Master list since the employee may choose to take less than 8 hours of vacation. I would like to add hours from the Vacation workbook.
Master list:
a1 employee name
b1 total vacation time taken
c1 total overtime worked

Aladin,

My expected results:
If I take 8 hours on jan 1st and 4.5 hours on jan 2nd, the total hours of 12.5 should be linked to the Master workbook. My formula only multipies by 8.

It's:

It's:


=SUMIF('[vacation calendar.xls]jan.'!$A$1:$A$100,A2,'[vacation calendar.xls]jan.'!$B$1:$B$100)

to be entered in B2 in the target sheet where you want the total of vacation taken.
