    Question Multiple Category Summary Multiplication

    Hi all,

    I've been struggling to find a solution to the following problem - I think an image might best help explain:

    Screenshot 2019-09-09 at 11.23.45.png

    I'm looking to create a summary table (the orange one) dependent on how many times a category appears in the blue table. So for example, A appears 3 times in job 1 at a value of £1. It also appears twice in job 2, but at a value of £2.50, etc etc. How can I create the table on the right to correctly have a total value based on how many times it appears in the main data table, and multiply by its respective line value? I hope this makes sense.

    EDIT: It's worked! Thanks Paul! Just to add a further conundrum which I've just realised I need. I've attached another screenshot:

    So there's a total value in the orange table as before, but there's another column that will have values ONLY if there a date in the column. I presume I would need to modify with a SUMIF?

    Oh not quite sure why that didn't work!

    Here's the image:

    Hopefully that works now. Just to reiterate the following problem:

    Re: Multiple Category Summary Multiplication

    Try this: =SUMPRODUCT(($C$3:$C$6<>"")*($D$3:$H$6=K3)*($I$3:$I$6))
