    Need Excel to automatically select correct columns to sum their values by currency

    Hi there,
    I have the following problem.
    On tab 1 I have weekly sales numbers for different items which are sold in different currencies

    Tab1----------------------------col A------------col B------------col C
    -------------Week number---------2---------------3----------------4
    1 Oranges (sales in USD)--------1,300USD-------2,660USD--------3,980USD
    2 Apples (sales in EUR)----------1,000EUR-------2,000EUR--------3,000EUR
    3 Pears (sales in JPY)-----------11,800JPY------23,650JPY-------35,700JPY

    On tab 2 I need to re-calculate all sales numbers from tab 1 into one common currency (EUR) and to sum them to one number

    Tab 2-----------FX EUR/USD------1.3-------------1.33----------1.327
    -----------------FX EUR/JPY------11.8-----------11.825---------11.9

    ---------------------------------col A-----------col B-----------col C
    ----------Week number-------------2--------------3---------------4
    1 Total sales in EUR per week----3,000EUR-------6,000EUR-------9,000EUR

    Using sumif() function is possible but not a good solution as I have to manually select the columns to be summed. Does anyone see a way how to make Excel to automatically select the right column on tab 1 and to culculate the totals for the weekly sales?
    Thanks

    I think you should use pivot table.

    But without your data, i can't show you.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    Not sure if the pivot table would be a good solution for my problem. On tab 2 I will collect the totals from many other tabs (like Labor costs (total for salaries in one weekly number), Loans and interest on loans in one weekly total etc.
