IF statement to check for value in range and if true include adjacent value in SUM

[WikeMo1]

Hello,

This seems like it would be easy, but maybe it's not.

I am trying to construct a daily tally list for task completion in one sheet that would then show a running total in another sheet as a "dashboard."


Here is a type of example.

In this example I would want the cells in the sheet "List and Totals" to test for wherever the value in the list in column A is present in column B of the sheet "Tally."

For whatever value is present in column B of the sheet "Tally," I would like to then have it sum the corresponding info into a running total in the proper row in "Lists and Totals."

For example, at this point I would want it to show the totals that are currently manually placed in "List and Totals."

Thanks in advance for any help!

Ok thanks! I will try it out this morning!

Tried and seems to be working great!
Thanks!

Now, I can't say I understand what it's doing, because I don't see how this is working according to my understanding of the "official explanation" of what SUMPRODUCT is supposed to be doing. But that's on me

You're welcome.

The first two sections of the formula return an array of TRUE or FALSE.
This part ($A3=Tally!$B$2:$B$12) returns

{TRUE;FALSE;TRUE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE} Excel will change the TRUE, FALSE to 1 and 0 when you do a math operation, so this part ($A3=Tally!$B$2:$B$12)*(B$1=Tally!$C$1:$H$1)*(Tally!$C$2:$H$12) returns this array to SUMPRODUCT {3,0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0,0;3,0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0,0} which returns the value of 6 for cell B3 in the example above. <colgroup><col width="763"></colgroup><tbody> </tbody> <colgroup><col width="452"></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>

<colgroup><col width="480"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>
