    Data Validation usage.

    I have a Spread sheet where on Monday-Sunday we have individual employees and their sales, and the days are separated on different pages. To input the employees there is a data validation drop down menu with all the names. at the end of the week we have a totals page that need to add up their sales from the entire week. the problem i am having is the totals page. i need help making sure that when you select the name on the last page it recognizes their sales.

    Re: Data Validation usage.

    I don't see any data validation dropdowns. Are those supposed to in B5:B34 of each of the day sheets? Are the employees on each day sheet different?

    If I am guessing right you need to use a SUMIF on the Totals sheet, but to be more specific I would need to understand the above.

    I'm guessing he's going to need a 3D SUMIF construct.

    Your workbook is pretty, but not very helpful for this exercise. A "sample" workbook includes sample data on all the data sheets, as randomly placed as you would normally expect it to be. Then on your TOTALS sheet you manually mockup the "results" and point out the cells you want help automating. This helps us help you, you show us the end result.
