    Question Complex Sum formula

    Struggling with a formula which requires excel to make a calculation(addition) and use the answer to multiply against another addition calculation....

    eg:

    The sum of (Monday!A1:A4) multiplied by the sum of (Monday!B1:B4) plus (Tuesday!A1:A4) multiplied by the sum of (Tuesday!B1:B4) and so on.....

    is this do-able ????

    Thanks

    Complex Sum formula

    Try something like this....

    =SUM(Monday!A1:A4)*SUM(Monday!B1:B4)+SUM(Tuesday!A1:A4)*SUM(Tuesday!B1:B4) 
    Is that something you can work with?

    Perfect!!!!

    Thank you... I was missing out the extra 'sums' in the equation....

    I'd tried just about every conurtation of parenthesis I could think of, but it was the sum thwarting me!!

    Many thanks
