Try this in A5 of Sheet1:
=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet2!A1:A8=N(INDIRECT({"A1","A2","A 3","A4"})))*Sheet2!B1:B8)

If I understand it right, I cannot do this:
={SUM(VLOOKUP(A1:A4,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$8,2,FALSE))}
To get the sum of points in this example
Sheet 1
A B etc...
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 1
5 this is where I put the formula hoping to get 40 (10 + 10 + 10 +
10)
Sheet 2
A B C etc...
1 1 10
2 2 8
3 3 6
4 4 4
5 5 3
6 6 2
7 7 1
8 8 0
If I used the formula =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$8,2,FALSE) in Sheet1,
B1, I would get 10 as expected. I could then fill B2:B4 and sum the
values, but I want the total in one cell. There must be a way to do it.
I saw a solution posted here
(http://groups.google.com/group/micro...ksheet.functio
ns/browse_thread/thread/af784678f7b56f38) that works - but not for
repeated values. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Andrew
