Sum multiple columns with same header

[kris01]

Hi. Can anyone tell me why my formula isn't working? I'm trying to sum multiple columns with the same header but its only summing the first column.

=SUM(INDEX(O12:U12,1,MATCH($O$4,$O$4:$U$4,0)))

O4 is the highlighted column header i want to match.

As you can see from the result. I'm only getting 0.5 and I want to see the value of 1.

Can't think why its not including the multiple columns.

There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your version is for Mac, please also state this. Thanks.

You could try this, although I doubt it's what you really need:

=SUMIFS(O12:U12,$O$4:$U$4,$O$4)

MATCH only finds the first occurrence of the search parameter

try

=SUMPRODUCT(($O12:$U12)*($O$4:$U$4=$O$4))
