I have several worksheets of data that I'd like to compile in a sum. Sounds easy I know...
Each worksheet looks similar to this:
Person A Data 1 Data 2 Data 3....
Person B " " "
.
.
.
On the final sheet I'd like to sum all of Data 1 for person A, Data 2/PersonA etc etc...
But on each sheet the data is sorted differently, and is often re-sorted. The final sheet will also be re-sorted often. But the data is always in the same place RELATIVE to the persons name. Is there a function to find a cell relative to the value thats in a cell (ie, look up the persons name, and reference the cell 2 columns over (to add Data 2, in that example))?
I feel like this could be simple, but I'm not finding any functions that do something like this. Do I need to nest different functions together to do this?
Basically, on the last page for the cell representing Data 2 for Person B (C2 in the above example) to =sum([cell 2 columns to the right of wherever the text "person B" is found]) across all worksheets.
Thanks!
