You can use a regular Vlookup formula, and instead of returning a value, you
can return a formula (or actually the result thereof).........the formula
can be in the second column of your table and actually only the result of
the formula will show there.......

A1= a
B1= =VLOOKUP(A1,G1:H5,2,FALSE)
G1=a, G2=b, G3=c, G4=d, G5=e
H1= =SUM(I1:K1), and copy down to H5

Then, B1 will return the sum of I1:K1........

I'd like to combine a sumif and vlookup function. Basically I want to
lookup
a "Name" in a table and sum up the corresponding grades (multiple cells)
in
another table. Can anyone help. Thanks
