    Trying to compare actual results to budget with multiple IS items per Budget Line

    Currently I am trying to create a budget to actual analysis when there are often multiple Financial Statement line items per a single line in the budget. For instance on for the Plant Supplies Budget Item, there will be Safety Supplies, Misc Supplies, Plant Supplies - Drums, and small tools. Using some kind of formula would then add up all those accounts to compare with the given Budget Line Item.

    Ideally I would want a supporting tab with all the different Financial Statement Accounts mapped out to the corresponding Budget Line Item which are then summed on the main page for review. This would be much easier to maintain as opposed to having a six argument formula.

    Basically basically if the budget line equals this, then sum certain IS accounts that are mapped on the supporting page.

    is what I am describing realistic at all?

    After thinking about this more, I guess my question can be narrowed down this: Can some form of sum formula be setup where the criteria is defined by a range of cells?

    If you attach a workbook (not pictures) with some data and the expected output it will be much easier to help you.
