Horizontal Sum Calculation posting results Vertically

Dear All,

I am having problems of creating a formula that essentially would allow me to calculate a sum by column, while on a different sheet having a vertical output.
At the moment I do the following:

In Q6 =SUM('Raw Data'!AH3:AH225)/SUM('Raw Data'!$AH$3:$AQ$225)
In Q7 =SUM('Raw Data'!AI3:A225)/SUM('Raw Data'!$AH$3:$AQ$225)
And so on....

Essentially "SUM('Raw Data'!AH3:AH225)" are all the values of AH and "SUM('Raw Data'!$AH$3:$AQ$225)" is the total of the columns AH - AQ.
I changed AH -> AI by hand, and I am also aware that I just could do a sum calculation at the end of row 225, but I would like to be able to do it via formula as well.

I know there has to be a simple solution, but my experiments via "=INDEX" haven't been successful so far.

Thank you,

Christoph

Dear shukla,

I posted an example with the relevant data

In Sheet2

in B3

=SUM(INDEX(Sheet1!$A$3:$E$42,,ROWS($1:1)))/SUM(Sheet1!$A$3:$E$42)

Copy down

Thx Guys,

It works. Just one question why do I put " Rows($1:1)" into column_num?

Regards,

Christoph

INDEX has format Range, Row, Column and in the formula below the ROWS() is in the COLUMN parameter

=SUM(INDEX(Sheet1!$A$3:$E$42,,ROWS($1:1)))/SUM(Sheet1!$A$3:$E$42)

the ROWS($1:1) acts a a "counter" so in B3 it has a value of 1, in B4 a value of 2 etc so it selects the data in the first column of the INDEX range, then the second and so on.

So we select from column A, then column B .....

Hope this helps.

Thank you. That helps
