I have a spreadsheet where various memebers of staff will enter data in along
a row.

Eg A2 their name, B2,C2 upto L2 they enter how much time they have spent on
a particular activitity
Row 3 would be another person and they list their times across a row.
row 4 may be the same person as row 2 etc

I need to calcualte how much time a particualr person has spent overall, so
I need to find their name then add up their times is columns B to L, works
with one column of data, but cannot calculate through the different rows
