Here is my dilemma:

I have set up a workbook where each employee has a his/her own worksheet in
one workbook (about 26 worksheets). For each individual worksheet, I have
the day of the week, then beneath that I have a drop down list for either
"IN", "VAC", "SICK", or "PERS", then beneath that I have how many hours they
used for it.

For example:
John Smith
IN
8

Or:

Mary Jones
SICK .5
4
IN .5
4

For the second example, Mary was "sick" half of the day, and "in" the other
half.

Now my question:
On a seperate worksheet within the same workbook, I would like to keep a
running total (per employee) of how many hours were spent SICK, IN, VAC,
PERS, or FLOAT for each week.

Ideally, it would look like this:
John Smith
VAC 16
IN 8
PERS .5 4
SICK .5 4
PERS 8

So, that would be a total of 40 hours. Kind of like a table format, if you
can picture that.

How can I set it up so that excel knows to "look" directly beneath the word
"IN" or "VAC" on the employee's individual worksheet, and be able to add ONLY
the INs together, ONLY the VACs together, and so on and total them on the
seperate worksheet I mentioned above.

Someone PLEASE give me some guidance.

Thank you so much,

Mike

No one knows how to do this?

Try the SumIF function. I have my time off type in row 2, the number of
hours in row 3.
=SUMIF($B2:$AF2,"PTO",$B3:$AF3)
You'll need to adjust it to fit your needs.
