I am trying to add the totals given in Columns C, E, G etc etc of each
suburb listed in columns B,d,F etc etc. When the formula finds the total is
also needs to give me the name in column 1 for that area. (Two areas given in
example but not all week)

Eg: Find "PNS Sound Hutt" in column B, & column D, add 2.0 (from column c)
& (1 from column e) then show John. I need to know how often each person
visits each suburb.

Hi

Use conditional sum wizard. See formulas tab - solutions - conditional sum

I've just done this for John PNS Petone but you'll soon get the idea. I'm
not sure how you want to display your data. I've taken it that each day
there is a calc - you can extend this as you require.

The formula should read

=SUM(IF($B$2:$B$5="PNS Petone",$C$2:$C$5,0))

to see how often John visits PNS Petone on Monday

Watch out for your headers in C & E columns. The wizard cannot
differentiate them so you will need unique titles.
