Hi,

I am trying to figure out the correct formula to sum multiple columns based on single criteria.

I have a list of 30 names and the range contains all 30 names with multiple columns representing months of the year.

I want to sum 3 months (3 columns) for each name(criteria) but cant seem to get it right. I can do it for a single colum but I want to sum multiple columns.

I presume it should be a Sumifs formula or maybe even a sumproduct.

I dont necessarily want to create a helper column either as the formula will be working off a pivot table.

Thanks

Would you provide an example using XL2BB as this isn't clear (to me) that simply =SUM(B2:M2) would sum the 1st quarter for the first name in A2.

Hey thanks for your response. Sorry for the delay in coming back to you but I needed to figure out how to use that XL2BB :)

So, what do you want for Alex? The sum of just 2 months? Same for the others?

Hi, typically the names will not be in order even though they are in the example.

Match the colours to sum up the relevant columns by looking up the name.
