I'm at my wits end with this particular task, so I'm looking to be pointed in the right direction by someone here. I'm working with 3 worksheets, one with the numbers to be summed, one with the lists to be parsed to see which numbers to sum, and one where results will be placed. I'll attach the file at the end.
What needs to happen is on worksheet A with the list of items, and its corresponding category, I need to be able to add all of the items on worksheet B whenever the category is matched as the criteria. My original function was a SUMIF(categories, particular category, data list), which left out several of the data and probably didn't do it in the right order anyway.
This is not a work assignment, rather for class, and my teacher has not emailed me in three days after I asked him for help on this. Additionally, I do not believe we are required to use macros (though it would help, as a former programmer), so only excel functions should be required. I'll be watching this thread in case I explained it poorly.
