I have been trying to sort this one out for days now and mind you I am not an Excel power user.
The problem may even be the way I am phrasing the question to myself.
I would like to scan this data block for all the participants numbers an show in a summary a total value for each participant number (I cant use names because there are thousands of them so I just want to use a number to represent the participant. It has to be a number. So the test columns values need to be text values.
Each participant will be assigned a number of points from the cell in the points column in its corresponding points cell.
Eg Test 2 row 1 participant 5 is assigned 3 point and in test3 participant 5 is assigned 4 points
I would like excel to pull every occurrence of the participants numbers (without me typing in a if= value ) out of the data block and total the points assigned to them and them display it in a summary area in a format such as Participant No5 = 7 Points Participant 2 = 3 points and so on until all participants in the data block have had their points added up.
This process will be repeated many, many times , so I just want to be able to punch in the participant number in in any column in any cell and the summary will add up the points for me.
No participant number will be repeated in any column. But the may be repeated across the tests . Like below
Ie the number 1 can only appear once in test1 column but can also appear in test3 column (but only once in that column)
Can someone please help me with this its driving me batty , I though it should be simple but given the dynamic nature of the data in the data block it has turned out to be quite a challenge for me.
