    Formula That Links Cells In Tables Together With Cells Not In The Table And Give The Sum

    Hi Guys and Girls. I'm very new to Excel Forum. I'm in need of help creating the right formula for a Worksheet I'm currently on.
    What I'm trying to do is link a cell to give me the sum of 2 different cells located in 2 different tables I created.

    So I want to have Cell B5 look for the number in cell B3 in the Table that starts in column Q1 and give me the corresponding number in the same row in the column R1

    then lookup the number in cell B1 in the Table that starts in column T1 and match it with the number in Column U1 that corresponds to it in the same row

    and Finally give me the sum of both corresponding numbers.

    IE.. the number in B3 is found in Q13 which uses the number it corresponds to in R13. The takes B1 finds it in T16 and uses the number it corresponds to in U16.
    Then returns the sum of R13 and X16 into B5. (B5 should show 176)

    Re: Need help creating a formula

    Hi
    perhaps first have a look at forum rules about thread titles.
    Also keep in mind that while pics are nice to look at, they are useless to work with. Sheets are much easier

    formula in B5:

    this will be fast, but will work only if columns Q and T are sorted ascending.

    else, use this, if any value in Q and T appears only once:

    or, there is also:

    this will only look in the left-most column for index values.

    - i.s.z -
    CSE, aka Array aka { }, formulae are confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.
    Replace commas ( , ) with semicolons ( ; ) in formulae, if your locale setting demands.
    All good ideas are courtesy resources from this forum as well as others around the web.
