    Help with a formula/Function for totaling hours for a job

    Hello

    I've been wracking my small brain on trying to figure this out for my wife. She has one workbook with 7 sheets. the rows of each sheet are the weeks of the year and every two columns is a job, the first of the two being hours the second being hrs times rate of pay. Now each sheet is the same as in the 8th column will all be the same job. I'm trying to figure out how to scan a specific job hours column in every sheet and display results of any row that is not null/zero. This display on another sheet. That way when her boss asks how much labour on job x, she could this formula to figure it out instead of going through each sheet and totalling numbers etc etc.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as my brain is not wrapping around what functions to use and in what order.

    Joel

    So seet "Empoyee 7" is your sum up results?
    How did you get to 15.5 hours on pay period Dec 29-Jan 3?
    your job is "19-1020"?

    Hello

    No Employee 7 is a new employee who they haven't made a full sheet for yet. He can be deleted probably as his would mess things up lol

    Re: Help with a formula/Function for totaling hours for a job

    I introduced a summary worksheet: "main" a portion of which is shown below.

    The formula in cell main!B2 copied across and down is:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.


    Note that there are a few #N/A errors. These are due to "job" columns missing from certain employees, for example 19-1026 is missing from the Employee2 worksheet.

    There's also a couple of #REF errors - for example you have #ref! errors in Employee4!AM30:AM60 that will lead to erroneous results

    Either the data can be cleaned up or possibly I can adjust the formulas to tolerate these errors. I'll leave work on this until you confirm that this solution is along the lines you were looking for.

    The above is implemented in the attached workbook.

    Hope this helps
