Hi, I have an issue that I've been struggling with and I hope someone could please help me out.

At work we have a standby rota, with one sheet per month. In each sheet there's a rota, and essentially it looks like this (but with each date of the month in it);

FriSatSunMontueWedTotal Days
Employee Name123456
Person1BB2
Person2B1
Person3B1
Person4B1
Person5B1

I've added some index / matches to retrieve the totals of how many days in each month a particular person is on standby, however what I want to do is now get totals of specific dates. So for example how many days person1 has been on standby on a Monday in a given month. I'll then add these together separately for a yearly total.

I can't work out how this would be possible? Some form of index/match/countif array formula ? Arrays are my downfall unfortunately. Any help would be greatly appreciated on this.

I should add, I've tried something like this to no avail;

=COUNTIFS(January!A4:AG11,"B",January!B3:AF3,"Mon",January!A5,"Person1")

Dave, thank you very much for the suggestion. This does work in the meantime, however I'd ideally be looking to have this "dynamic" so that I can also add the person name is a parameter.

I'd ideally like to avoid having helper columns on each sheet.

Ultimately I'm adding these totals up on a separate sheet, and being able to sum the whole table at once for "person name", "day" , and "B", would be best as it won't need as much manual intervention with fixed ranges per person.

How about:

Excel Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((January!B4:AF11="B")*(January!B3:AF3="Mon")*(January!A4:A11="Person1"))

You can expand the SumProduct formula.

The least resource intensive is the example sown above.

Hard code the relevant columns
=SUMPRODUCT((Data!A3:A100=A5)*(Data!B3:B100="B")+(Data!G3:G100="B"))

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you both on this. But thank you very much for the solutions, they work absolutely perfectly.
