I have a calendar set up in Excel that uses a tab for each month and a tab at
the end that totals data from the calendar. If someone puts their name in a
cell on one of the month tabs and in the next column puts their hours, I
would like for those hours to be added to that person's total on the summary
tab. In other words, if I put my name on the tab labeled February on the
11th day of the month and in the column next to my name I put 8-hours then I
would like the summary tab to recognize my name and then place the 8-hours
under my total on the summary tab. There will be a total of 9 employees I
will need to total. I tried HLookup but I couldn't make it work. Any help
you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Stan

I hope you have office 2007. In your Summary sheet use the SUMIF formula as
follows, where MyCell is the cell with the name of the person on that line in
the summary sheet.

=SUMIF(Jan!A:A,MyCell,Jan!B:B)+SUMIF(Feb!A:A,MyCel l,Feb!B:B)...etc

The way it works is it looks in column A of the month sheets for the name in
MyCell on the summary sheet. It then sums all the corresponding hours in
column B of the month sheet.

If this helps please click "Yes"
