    Vlookup needs to cover entire column, formula quits on me.

    hello all,

    I was given a helpful formula

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,$B$6:$D$9,3,0),"")

    It works, but for a very limited amount. It will only add each from Col B once. I will be adding to this excel as the fiscal month carries on. I attempted to change $B$6:$D$9 to $B$6:$D$150 to cover a certain area of the spreadsheet,but it doesnt work.BudgetTracker2012.xlsx

    I hope this makes sense.

    I think you're using the wrong function... Use a SUMIF and just include a large enough starting range as to not have to worry?

    =SUMIF($B$6:$B$10000, B$3, $D$6:$D$10000)
