Default formula reference~muliple sheets

Hi, I need to generate a formula that will look at the data on sheet
one..reference a list on sheet 2 ..do some arithmatic then add the total of 3
cells together placing that total in its own cell.

sheet 1

Student ID Exam 1 Exam 2 Final Overall Grade
318-84-6039 100 93 79 87.40 B
332-03-6854 99 90 74 F
341-38-6902 63 51 43 F
362-80-6830 65 91 81 F
351-25-6606 74 65 58 F
303-86-6698 74 63 63 F
360-99-6115 63 50 43 F
342-45-6149 84 72 65 F
360-49-6615 78 65 58 F
331-38-6683 88 78 77 F
337-55-6535 72 64 62 F
300-60-6949 100 89 85 F
373-46-6412 99 88 84 F
397-44-6180 98 84 84 F
398-56-6736 100 92 86 F

sheet 2

Exam Type Weight
Exam 1 25%
Exam 2 25%
Final 50%

using these charts, i need to generate the data that would populate under
the overall column. What i need to do is reference the type, multiply the
value in the cell that corresponds to it by the appropriate weight which is
found on sheet 2 in the list. add the 3 cells together after multiplying them
by their weights and put that total in the column under overall.

ex 100*20%+93*30%+79*50% 87.40 would go under overall.

anyhelp on this would be appreciated

Hi there,
Place this formula inB1 sheet 2 and type in the student # in A1

See if it works for you

=(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!$A$2:$F$16,2,0)*0.2)+(VLOOKUP( A1,Sheet1!$A$2:$F
$16,3,0)*0.3)+(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!$A$2:$F$16,4,0)*0 .5)

Default formula reference~muliple sheets

maybe im misunderstanding what your saying, but reentering the student
numbers is going to require more work than i want if at all avoidable. Also i
need the information to be able to be absolute so if the data changes in teh
look up sheet it can be adjusted across all 5 sheets by just adjusting the
list data.

Default formula reference~muliple sheets

there are multiple sheets with the same type of data on each.. if there are 6
classes there will be 6 sheets. If i have to input the student ID numbers
into a list for each it will take quite a bit of time.(lets say sheets 2-7
are class sheets and sheet one has the reference list)

i have a list similar to the one i posted already. i need to make a formula
that will allow me to multiple the test scores indiviually by the proper
%(which is based on the type and can be found in the list on Sheet 1) once i
get that amount i need to add the total of the 3 scores together and put them
into their own cell (in this case in the overall column) no matter how i try
i keep getting different errors. this needs to be able to carry over to all
sheets and copied down the entire column.

Looking at your original post ..

In Sheet1,
Col E = Overall

Put in E2:
=SUM(B2*VLOOKUP(B$1,Sheet2!A:B,2,0),C2*VLOOKUP(C$1 ,Sheet2!A:B,2,0),D2*VLOOKUP(D$1,Sheet2!A:B,2,0))
Copy E2 down

An alternative, perhaps simpler in this instance, is to use defined ranges

In Sheet2, within A2:B4 are your weights:

Exam 1 25%
Exam 2 25%
Final 50%

Select A2:B4, then click Insert Name Create
"Left column" will be checked. Just click OK.

The above will auto-create 3 defined ranges:
Exam_1 =Sheet2!$B$2
Exam_2 =Sheet2!$B$3
Final =Sheet2!$B$4

Then in Sheet1,
Col E = Overall

Put in E2:
=SUM(B2*Exam_1,C2*Exam_2,D2*Final)
Copy E2 down.

You could use the same formula above
in all other sheets similar to Sheet1 within the book.

Thanks. defining the range seems to have made the difference. Will be
something I think about more after working thru this issue.
