I download a database from an LMS where the courses are organized alphabetically and as a result are randomized from three different levels (tiers) of completion. I am trying to find a way to automatically populate the "hours completed" cells for each level; I can get the total number of classes completed and the total number of hours completed just fine, but this last formula is stumping me.
Welcome to the forum.
To count the dates:
=SUMPRODUCT(($B3:$X3<>"")*(LEFT($B$1:$X$1,7)="Level 1"))
To sum the hours:
=SUMPRODUCT(($B3:$X3<>"")*(LEFT($B$1:$X$1,7)="Level 1")*$B$2:$X$2)

Thank you for your quick reply; that works exactly as I needed!
But unfortunately I was unintentionally misleading for simplicity's sake. The courses themselves in real life don't actually have the words "Level 1/2/3" in the titles. They all have different random names. How could I do the same thing when I can't search for specific language?
My fault for not being clearer.
Nevermind; I don't know what I was thinking. I can rename the courses in my master copy (I just paste the updated data).
Thank you so much for your help!
