Hi,

I have a spreadsheet that I need to calculate a weighted score for each entered criteria - See table below.

Each bidder will be given a score out of 10 for each of the criteria. Each criterion will be given a 'weighting' which is a multiplier for the score. This will then give each bidder a weighted score on each of the criteria. The bottom row simply gives the sum total of the scores and the weighted scores. I am struggling with the formula, I have tried SUMPRODUCT but I think I am getting it wrong - can only please help :( :eeek:

Thank you very much

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Just to provide detail of the formula I did use

=sumproduct(b3,c3)/sum(b3:c3)

which gave a weighted score of 3.43 for Bidder A under Delay criteria

Have I got that right?

Thanks very much

Lesley
