    Question Looking up values based on a field of text/ number, multiple columns

    Hi

    I will try to make this easy, and I am sure that the solution of this problem is simple, but I am just not sure.

    I need to calculate total value based on "x", the name and "totalt". Meaning, I need to make an formula that works, for example how much Teo has billed in value. The example with Teo would include the numbers: 11550+10500+2100+1485 (I have a lot of rows beneath in my excel sheet).

    The question: How do I write a formula for Teo, Erik, Sven etc to calculate those numbers based on the "x" I put in?

    Thanks for replies on this matter!

    Sincerely,

    Christian

    Use Control + Shift + Enter to enter this Array Formula

    Where B2:E2 is the row with the x's on it, and B10:E10 is the row with the values to be added.
    =SUM((B2:E2="x")*$B$10:$E$10)


    Edit: How exactly did I forget the SUMIF function exists. Ugh. Use Tony's one, its easier

    Also I did mine sideways, haha. Too early for this!
