summing multiple row/column calculations
Carl 13.12.2005 11:03:03
Hi - I'm trying to sum the results of calculations across several cells as
follows....

cells A1 to H1 contains numbers of pages
cells A2:H9 contain values 1,2, or 3 that represent types

I want to determine how many pages there are of each type, for instance in
column A if the first cell contains 8, and the next 4 cells contain 1, the
and the last 4 contain 2,2,3,3 then type 1 should equal 4 pages, and types 2
and 3 should equal 2 each.
Can anyone help?

Carl

I find your problem setup a bit ambiguous - with 8 pages in A1 and 8
rows of {1, 2, or 3}. What if A1 contained 23? Are all 8 rows filled in
every column?

Yes, that's right. Basically, I want to perform a countif(range,value)
divided by a count(range) then multiply the result by the page total, but I
want to do this for several columns to obtain the total number of pages, but
I'm not sure a single formula can manage that........
