I am new to Power Query and am trying to figure out how to sum on a single value. I am looking to sum $ on a checkbox. Ie: I would like to be able to check boxes in Column I, Row 4, Column, J Row 4 and Column L Row 4 and have it sum up the total cost from the same columns in row 3. I Named a table (See column through R Rows 2 and 3) but cannot seem to get the query to work correctly. Any help would eb HUGE! See attached
 

Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.

Power Query is not the solution here. Formulas can do this. Try SUMIFS.

Solution
Yes, I know I can do it with normal functions. I was just told Power query would be a better way to go but maybe not
If you need to get rid of the columns with checkboxes and flatten the rest of the data out or MAYBE replace the checkboxes with values depending on whether or not they're checked and then flatten it out, it might be the answer, but as presented, Power Query is NOT the answer.
Presumably the checkboxes have related Cell values of at least TRUE and FALSE, in which case a formula should work fine.
