I have a table that has columns of days, 1-31 and another column with the day
of the week, Mon-Sun and then various columns of numbers for each day of the
month.

I want to be able to a get sum of all the numbers for each day of the week.
I am using lookup but this is only returning the last incidence and I need
all the numbers added together. Example, I need all widgets sold on Saturday
for the month.

TIA

Try this, Michael:

An easy way to summarize data in a table is to use a pivot table. There
are instructions in Excel's Help, and he

http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot01.html

In the pivot table, put Day in the row area, and the number columns in
the Data area.

If your days are in column B and he amounts you want to sum in column
C

=SUMIF(b:b,"Sat",c:c)
