Collect Sums from other sheets

LDP

Hi All!
Please let me know if this is possible, and if so, how to do it.

I have two sheets. One is a data collection sheet and one is a budget sheet. The collection sheet will have multiple lines of the same persons name with a subsequent totals in a different column. On my Budget sheet, I would like to collect the SUM of those lines, by person, on the collection sheet, to a cell on a line with their name.

Can this be done?

I hope this makes sense.

Yes, it can certainly be done. The function you need is a SUMIF. This will return the sum of a column if something is true. That something will be the name match. Take a look at:

If you have more than one criteria, SUMIFS will help:

To do this on the budget sheet using data on the collection sheet you will need to use cross sheet references. If you aren't familiar with those, take a look at:

Hope that helps. If you have any questions, ask away.
