Looking to tally scores based on name and category. However the original table layout is unconventional (Excel speaking) and I cannot change the output that comes from a webpage query. I want to sum the scores across all tabs (month) first by category (ie., CB, PB, CI, CM etc) and then by name within that category as grouped and shown below. I am using Excel 2003.

Note that the number and type of categories are different each month.
The results should look like the following table. I added the numbers for emphasis that it should be summing.

Excel tables to the web >> http://www.excel-jeanie-html.de/index.php?f=1" target="_blank"> Excel Jeanie HTML 4

I can only seem to query by name but cannot get around how to add referencing to the category.

Code: 
=SUMPRODUCT(($BI$4:$BI$18=B$4)*1,$BJ$4:$BJ$18 )
or
Code: 
=SUMIF(BI4:BI18,"Tatum Oneil",BJ4:BJ18)+SUMIF(BF4:BF18,"Tatum Oneil",BG4:BG18)

Any assistance would be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Sort by date Sort by votes
I think it can be done with a pivot table.

But i can't copy the data you posted in my workbook to test it.

If you post it with excel-jeanie-html i can take a look for you.

Oeldere, I prefer to use formula approach instead of pivot table. The data in the OP is from Excel-jeanie and I was able to copy back into Excel. Not sure why the blanks are turned into stars and the table lines disapear, but the data is essentially representative of my example.

Any help is appreciated.
