Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me with this.

I have a total score being calculated based on 5 options under 9 categories (below is the formula). I need to make add a 50% weighting to the first category and then evenly distribute to the remaining 8. Does anyone have the slightest idea how this can be accomplished?

=SUM(COUNTIF(I3:Q3,{"Needs Development","Basic","Intermediate","Advanced","Expert"})*{1,2,3,4,5})

How are you posting the scores?
Using text, Basic, Expert etc.? or their equivalent score value, 2,5?

If you used a number as the score method for each 9 categories you could use the following formula to give you a total score based on the weights you want.

=SUMPRODUCT(A4:I4,A2:I2)/SUM(A2:I2)

Assuming the scores are in A4:I4 and the % Weight in A2:I2

The scores are automatically totaled based what is chosen for each person in the 9 categories (Talent Multiplier, Purpose Driven etc.). I need to add weight to each of those 9 categories. I need the formula to account for the weight of the choice (Basic, Expert etc.) and the weight of the category.

The formula in J3 and copied down is

=SUMPRODUCT($B$1:$I$1, LOOKUP(B3:I3, {"Advanced","Basic","Expert","Intermediate","Needs Development"}, {4,3,5,2,1}))

I changed the order of the ratings so they are in alpha order, which LOOKUP requires. I changed the weights so they total 100%.
