    INDEX/MATCH/SUM type foruma

    Hello,

    I am trying to find an array type way to write one formula, as opposed to adding 100 IF formulas together. I have a list of a few dozen projects grouped together taking up 4 rows each. I have then a calendar schedule to the right of each, where the first row in each project section is "Phase" and the 2nd row is "person days".

    There are a total of 5 phases. I am trying to sum the number of person days required for each phase at the bottom, per month.

    I am not sure the best way to look at the scope of the entire column, look at the value in the Phase row, then take the values in the person days row - the row below phase - and return the sum of the respective phases in a chart at the bottom of each column.

    I would assume I need some combination of INDEX/MATCH/maybe SUMPRODUCT, but I cannot put it together.

    Thanks!

    It would be helpful if you could upload a workbook. This should include a sample of your data as well as the results you're trying to achieve. In order to upload, click Go Advanced, then Manage Attachments. Click Browse to find your file, click Open, then click Upload. Click Close this window, and your file will be attached when you submit your reply.

    As Melvosh has said a workbook would be useful.

    Don't forget that if you record your data in a regularised two dimensional table suitable for use by a Pivot Table then you can usually derive all the analysis you need from the PT without the need for formulae.

    See sample data attached. The challenge is the realistic set of projects will be in the range of a few dozen.

    However this isn't the best way of holding your data for any really useful analysis. I'd urge you to create a table with columns
    for

    Date - typical values 1/1/2019...etc.
    Project ID - typically 12345, 12346 etc.
    Phase - typically PB, EP etc.
    Person Days, typically 50, 25 etc.

    i.e. one record row for each unique set of information
