Sum if a set of values is in a range

[Olbap]

Hi,
I am trying to construct a formula that sums values in a range only if the heading of the column is in another range.

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 192pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=256 border=0><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" span=4 width=64><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD class=xl153 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-TOP: #e0dfe3; BORDER-LEFT: #e0dfe3; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white" width=64 height=17>Uruguay</TD><TD class=xl153 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-TOP: #e0dfe3; BORDER-LEFT: #e0dfe3; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white" width=64>Uzbekistan</TD><TD class=xl153 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-TOP: #e0dfe3; BORDER-LEFT: #e0dfe3; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white" width=64>Vanuatu</TD><TD class=xl153 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-TOP: #e0dfe3; BORDER-LEFT: #e0dfe3; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white" width=64>Venezuela</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD class=xl152 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-BOTTOM: #e0dfe3; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white" height=17>865</TD><TD class=xl152 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-BOTTOM: #e0dfe3; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white">148</TD><TD class=xl152 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-BOTTOM: #e0dfe3; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white">m</TD><TD class=xl152 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-BOTTOM: #e0dfe3; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white">209</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD class=xl154 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-TOP: #e0dfe3; BORDER-LEFT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-BOTTOM: #e0dfe3; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white" height=17>865</TD><TD class=xl154 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-TOP: #e0dfe3; BORDER-LEFT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-BOTTOM: #e0dfe3; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white">148</TD><TD class=xl154 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-TOP: #e0dfe3; BORDER-LEFT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-BOTTOM: #e0dfe3; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white">m</TD><TD class=xl154 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-TOP: #e0dfe3; BORDER-LEFT: #e0dfe3; BORDER-BOTTOM: #e0dfe3; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white">209</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

This is a little sample of the much much larger table, for example I want a cell with the sum of the values corresponding to Latin American countries which are defined in a list in another sheet.

I thought this would be easy to do with SUMIF but it only allows me to compare to a specific value, not to find elements of a list. I have used cobinations of SUMIF and FIND with no result.
The easiest I can think of: SUMIF(Countries,Countries='Countries by region'!L3:L34,AQ307:HG307) doesn't work.

Any one has a better idea? is it better to create a personal function with VBA? I wanted to avoid that since I will no be the only user of the file and don't want to make operations obscure to others.

Hi

For the layout I post, try in B9:

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B2:E2,G3:G7,0)),B3:E4))

This is an array formula, you have to confirm it with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
