    Summing a Range of Vlookups

    Having some issues and would greatly appreciate any guidance.

    I have two tabs. Tab2 is a pivot table of summarized data. Tab1 is the worksheet I'm working on. I have been pulling information from Tab2 into Tab1 using vlookups. However, thus far I have only looked for individual variables. Now I would like to sum a range of vlookups from Tab2.

    I've attached a sample spreadsheet.

    I'm guessing I need to do SUMPRODUCT or SUMIFS, but can't seem to figure out what to do. AddingRangeofVLookups.xlsx

    - i.s.z -
    CSE, aka Array aka { }, formulae are confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.
    Replace commas ( , ) with semicolons ( ; ) in formulae, if your locale setting demands.
    All good ideas are courtesy resources from this forum as well as others around the web.

    No, no, in cell B10, I want it to simply say '30'. Is that possible?

    Thank you. That works, but the range I'm working with is much larger. Is there a way to make a concise formula, something like this that doesn't return an error?

    =SUM(VLOOKUP(A2:A6,'Tab2'!$A$3:$C$7,3,FALSE))
