Sum of coding variable by using Index and Match

[greenka]

Dear all,

This is my first time here. Could you please advice me with this question? I already try to search but couldn't find the answer.

Each worksheet called "Project 1, 2, 3, ...., 10" and have 5 questions which each question has drop down to choose 3 variables (YES-2, PARTIAL-1, NO-0). And I want to sum all of 15 questions in another worksheet called "Summary" - which has 10 projects in total.

What I did now is, I recode (YES-2, PARTIAL-1, NO-0) by using function INDEX and MATCH in "Data" worksheet in table below.

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]A
[/TD]
[TD] B
[/TD]
[TD] C
[/TD]

[TD]8
[/TD]
[TD]YES-2
[/TD]
[TD] 2
[/TD]
[TD] 2 =INDEX($B$8:$B$10,MATCH(A8,$A$8:$A$10,0))
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]9
[/TD]
[TD]PARTIAL-1
[/TD]
[TD] 1
[/TD]
[TD] 1 = INDEX($B$8:$B$10,MATCH(A9,$A$8:$A$10,0))
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]10
[/TD]
[TD]NO-0
[/TD]
[TD] 0
[/TD]
[TD] 0 = INDEX($B$8:$B$10,MATCH(A10,$A$8:$A$10,0))
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


As I mentioned, each worksheet called "Project 1, 2, 3, ...., 10" and have 5 questions which each question has drop down to choose 3 variables (YES-2, PARTIAL-1, NO-0). And I want to sum all 15 questions in "Summary" worksheet.

So, in "Summary" worksheet, I created the formula for Project 1 like this =SUM(INDEX(Data!$B$8:$B$10,MATCH('Project 1'!C1,Data!$A$8:$A$10,0))+INDEX(Data!$B$8:$B$10,MATCH('Project 1'!C2,Data!$A$8:$A$10,0))+INDEX(Data!$B$8:$B$10,MATCH('Project 1'!C3,Data!$A$8:$A$10,0))+INDEX(Data!$B$8:$B$10,MATCH('Project 1'!C4,Data!$A$8:$A$10,0))+INDEX(Data!$B$8:$B$10,MATCH('Project 1'!C5,Data!$A$8:$A$10,0)))

If you can see in the formula that, only the cells that I highlighted and underlined. I'm wondering are there any easier function that I can sum these 5 cells (C1-C5)?

I tried all sumif, sumproduct but doesn't work. I don't know how to use VBA. Could you please help me? Really appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hard to follow... Could you post what you have in Project 1 if it's small?

Hi Aladin,

Thank you very much to stop by my questions. I tried to attach the screenshot but doesn't work. So, I will type it here.

Worksheet "Project 1, Project 2, 3, ...., 10" have same questions (actually total is 13 questions).

No. Questions Score (this column you can choose drop down for YES-2, PARTIAL-1, NO-0)
Topic A
1. It is project clearly stated? xx (choose from drop down)
2. Does the agency search for budget? xx (choose from drop down)
3. ...
4. ...
Topic B
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Topic C
10.
11.
12.
13. ....

So, in "Summary" worksheet, I want to sum score of Topic A, Topic B, Topic C of Project 1, Project 2, 3, 4, 5, ........10 for each row.

Please let me know if you are not clear. Thank you very much for your help.
