Hi all,
Not sure if the title makes any sense, but I have a spreadsheet of names in Column B, with those names showing up in Columns D, F, and H. Column D is 3 points, Column F is 2 points, and Column H is 1 point. So if someone's name shows up 3 times in each of Columns D, F, and H, they should have a total of (9+6+3=18 points). I feel there is probably an easier way to set it up than I have done. Essentially, I have manually input names in a sumif function for each column and sum Columns E, G, and I. See partial screenshot for reference. I'm wondering if there is a way to automatically call up the text in the appropriate B column cells (i.e. call up text in B2 instead of typing "emma") and instead of summing Columns E, G, and I, could I take those out and somehow integrate that into the function? Maybe multiply by appropriate number based on how many times the name appears?
