using sum(collect()) with an or in the criterion range

Sheet A has three contact columns per row.

Sheet B has a list of personnel.

I'd like to collect the rows where a person appears in any of the three contact columns from Sheet A and sum on a numeric column

My current solution is to write three sum(collects()) - one matching each contact column - and add the result.

Is there a way to incorporate an or() into the criterion_range to simplify this?

    Hi @Tim Machula 

    Hope you are fine, did you mean that in your sheet B for each contact in sheet A you count how many time this contact X repeated in each of the 3 contact columns?
