use sumif to search a name that is in a table or a cell

[kdsprocket]

here is my formula
=SUMIF(A$65:A$151,"AWM",E$65:E$151)*24
instead of having to type the name of the project in each formula in this case "AWM" I would like it to look up the job name from a list of cells

in the work sheet I have a column with a list of job names that are extracted from another worksheet ='JOB CODES'!B3 this = the job name AWM
I would like to be able to extract these name from that worksheet =SUMIF(A$65:A$151,"='JOB CODES'!B3",E$65:E$151)*24

how can I do this

=SUMIF(A$65:A$151,"AWM",E$65:E$151)*24
=SUMIF(A$65:A$151,"496",E$65:E$151)*24
=SUMIF(A$65:A$151,"goldilock",E$65:E$151)*24

Hello kdsprocket. Welcome to the forum.

You don't genearally need the = or "" when referencing the cell.

This would be sufficient.

Should you need to apply this to numeric values in 'JOB CODES'!B3 you may require building a string like this:

=SUMIF(A$65:A$151,">="&'JOB CODES'!B3,E$65:E$151)*24

the formula that works
is
=SUMIF(C$65:C$151,"="&'JOB CODES'!D9,G$65:G$151)*24
