I have a formula I'm trying to simplify to calculate how work is spread among project staff.

I need to calculate a value (£) based on a value in the same row (%), so if H4 = 20%, return 20% of C4, in cell N4 - simple
=SUM($H4*C4,$H5*C5,$H6*C6,$H7*C7)

Problem is I need to do this for a number of ranges across a number of sheets, and I cannot figure it out.
I assumed I should be using a SUMIF but I cannot get it to work... feeling a bit dim
I need a formula which looks at H4:H7 and calculates the values from C4:C7 and returns the value in N4:N7

I have attached an example here, and while this works, I cannot replicate this approach on the scale I need it.

Actually, the second index-match is overkill:

Thank you very much, SUMPRODUCT works....
Now I need to add together the SUMPRODUCT from 5 sheets. I have tried a number things, but this is what makes most sense to me, but it's not working

=SUMPRODUCT(Sheet1!AK4:AK40,Sheet1!Q4:Q40)+(Sheet2!AK4:AK7,Sheet2!Q4:Q7)+(Sheet3!AJ4:AJ25,Sheet3!Q4:Q25)+('Sheet4'!AM4:AM15,'Sheet4'!Q4:Q15)+(Sheet5!AJ4:AJ12,Sheet5!Q4:Q12)

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure (wrt Forum Rules) whether this needs to be a new post or not.. (as it's a different topic).


You need to REPEAT the SUMPRODUCT for each sheet..

e.g. =SUMPRODUCT(Sheet1!AK4:AK40,Sheet1!Q4:Q40) + SUMPRODUCT(Sheet2!AK4:AK40,Sheet2!Q4:Q40) + SUMPRODUCT(Sheet3!AK4:AK40,Sheet3!Q4:Q40)



as in
add together the SUMPRODUCT
Click to expand...

So [SUMPRODUCT of sheet1] + [SUMPRODUCT of sheet2] + [SUMPRODUCT of sheet3] and so on
