Hi, Im looking for some help setting up a rota for my work. I am wanting to be able to select a name from a drop down list and then at the end show total hours worked. IS there a way that for example if i select 'DB' from the list i can get it to automatically recognize this would be a 6 hour shift. I have attached a sample showing what im looking to do.
Thanks for nay help that you can provide.

Try this array formula, in AG3, copied down:
=IFERROR(SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR(LOOKUP(B3:AF3,'Shift times'!$A$2:$A$8,'Shift times'!$B$2:$B$8),0)),"")
Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.
You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

None of us get paid for helping you... we do this for fun. So DON'T FORGET to say "Thank You" to all who have freely given some of their time to help YOU
Scratch that. You first need to sort the shift times alphabetically. Then it works...
Thanks for he very quick reply. I think this is exactly what I require, I will have a play about with it.
Thanks again
I'm late to the party ... Sucuri ...

That's what the EF does... quick answers to clearly asked questions, backed up with a sample Excel sheet.
It's a bit geeky.... but....
