I want to total columns of the same type that are on a different worksheet and they are B3, B13, B23, B33, B43....... because
B?3 are always going to be one type.

I would think something like =sum(B*3)

Is this possible??

Please help! Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
do you want to "total the columns" individually, or are you trying to SUM them all together?

is there a set number of B_3 columns? if so, maybe you could name them as ranges....

That my be the answer but it is B_3 to the infinate number to typing/clicking up to B1993 eventually may not be enough?

You will use the SUMPRODUCT formula, I guess.

Hi Aladin:
Why not simply
=SUMPRODUCT((RIGHT(B3:B23)="3")*(B3:B23))
after all it is only a string we are dealing with at that point
Please advise if there is a specific advantage to converting "3" into a numeric digit with "3"+0
Your insightful solutions are always a delight!

Just a precaution in case 3 is entered as a number in a cell of its own, somthing that I'd recommend. Then, it is easier to change

=SUMPRODUCT((RIGHT(ROW(B3:B23))+0=3)*(B3:B23))

to

=SUMPRODUCT((RIGHT(ROW(B3:B23))+0=A1)*(B3:B23))

where A1 houses 3.

Hope this sounds convincing :).
