Hello all,

General question, as I've been looking for different ways for a while and I've not come up with a solution yet!

I've pasted a copy of the data below as test data

So I want to look up the total if it's Nominal A and department 2 for example. I've tried sumifs but it doesn't seem to work as I'm using a horizontal and vertical data structure.

Whats the best formula to use?

Thanks,
Becky

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
I'm using this formula, to then auto-populate a payroll journal for context

Is this how your data is laid out? Nominal Code is listed directly below the Department column?

In my data there is no row space where the heading nominal code is.

So Col a is my nominal code
row 1 is my department code and A2: K8 (I'm guessing at this range) is my data range to sum.

This one threw me for a loop. Maybe an option would be using Sumproduct.

Thank you I'll give it a go. I also need to add an indirect into the formula so I can change the tab references to look at different months. That will be my next step.

As that would be a different question, please post a new thread with the new requirements so that others may take a look at it and come up with possible solutions.
