Hi All

I'm looking for help to perform a lookup across three columns. These are all dynamic arrays, so could all change in length. I've managed to stack three columns together as shown in column L below. I am now looking for a formula for column L whereby the entry in Column K is looked up in either column B, column E, or column I and the count from the adjacent column (C, F, or I) is returned. I've tried merging IFERROR and SUMPRODUCT, but it only works for one of the arrays depending on the order I enter the formula, so this doesn't work. The whole sheet is getting quite ugly unfortunately. The counts in columns C, F and J are generated using CountIf from elsewhere in the Workbook, but this fruit and veg example is just a small version I've generated for the purposes of asking on here. Any help would be much appreciated.

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
I can't test it because I don't have the source data for the names ranges, see if this works.
Excel Formula:
=SUMIFS(C:J,B:I,K2#)

Wow! That is brilliant. I was definitely overcomplicating it! Thank you so much.
