[Antonio Rosales]

hi!
ive uploaded 2 pictures. In picture 1picture 1.png, in cell I12 and so on down, i need to search for the variables in C12, D12, E12, F12, G12 and H12 that are in picture 2 picture 2.pngand return de sum of them all. Does someone know how to do it?
id try with combining 6 BUSCARV() but i can't move it down, i would have to do it manually.

Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one.

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

Also, your pics may be hiding some of your text?

Take a look at using SUMIFS() for this?

This will work, but Im sure there is a better way (working on it still)
=VLOOKUP(B2,$J$2:$K$17,2,FALSE())+VLOOKUP(C2,$J$2:$K$17,2,FALSE())+VLOOKUP(D2,$J$2:$K$17,2,FALSE())+VLOOKUP(E2,$J$2:$K$17,2,FALSE())+VLOOKUP(F2,$J$2:$K$17,2,FALSE())+VLOOKUP(G2,$J$2:$K$17,2,FALSE())
