How to combine a vlookup with a sumif function!!!
 

I've been trying to combine a vlookup function with a sumif function
for weeks now, however, without success.

This is my problem. Instead of looking up a single value, i.e.
=vlookup(A1, rang, 4, false), I like to do this for an entire range
and suming up that range. Something like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6
Table 1 10€ 35€ 50€ 23€ 60€ 50€
Jack 10€ 35€ 50€ 23€ 60€ 50€
Brian 10€ 35€ 50€ 23€ 60€ 50€
Juergen 10€ 35€ 50€ 23€ 60€ 50€
Feff 10€ 35€ 50€ 23€ 60€ 50€

So, I like to look-up the sum of these value without suming up these
values in table 1 and doing a vlookup on the sum.

Table 2

Feff
Juergen
Jack

I think the formula should look something like
this...=(sum(if(vlookup(Table2'A1;range;1;false)=T able2'A1;sum(range)))...I
really have no idea how excel can choose the particular row to sum up
the value. I hope this is not too confusing to you. I figured I'd
write it in English rather than German as more user can help me out on
this. I really appreciate any help. thanks you!!!

If you know how many columns wide the data is, then it a SUM will work for you

Let's assume row 1 has column headings and the data starts in row 2. Your
example shows 1 column of names & 6 columns of data. How about this formula

=SUM(OFFSET(B1:G1,MATCH("Jack",A2:A6,0),0,1,6))

Also...

Table2!B1, copied down:

=SUM(INDEX(Table1!$B$1:$G$5,MATCH(A1,Table1!$A$1:$ A$5,0),0))

Alternatively...

Table2!B1, copied down:

=SUM(VLOOKUP(A1,Table1!$A$1:$G$5,{2,3,4,5,6,7},0))

OR

=SUM(VLOOKUP(A1,Table1!$A$1:$G$5,ROW(INDIRECT("2:7 ")),0))

Both of these need to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just
ENTER.

Hope this helps!
