I needs the results of a sum of columns (year 1 of stuff and things, year 2 of stuff and things, etc) to shop up in total stuff & things...see attached file and or below. Instead of adding each cell manually, basically using formula to drag down the column and it computs it automatically, like a transpose sum? Thx in advance.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
stuff 1 2 3 things 1 2 3
Total Stuff & Things
Year1 2
Year2 4
Year3 6

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.
If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.
Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
Where there is a will there are many ways.

i attached snapshot file
Assuming top Try:
=SUMIF($A$1:$H$1,E7,$A$2:$H$2)
copied down.
No, I want a formula that sums cell B2 + F2 , C2 + G2, D2 + H2 and populates the sum in cell F7 (sum total for B2+F2), then if I drag down, F8 (C2+G2), and F9(D2+H2). I don't want to sum it manually in F8, and F9.Originally Posted by NBVC
thx in advance.
The sumif formula will sum on B2 and F2 when in F7 since it looks in row 1 to see which cells match E7 and sums what is directly underneath.
As you copy the formula down, you will get the result of C2+G2, D2+H2, etc...
Does that not work for you? If not, why?
But that only works if E7, E8, E9 have the same input as the column title. What if E7, E8, E9 have different names...e.g total year 1, total year 2, total year 3 instead of year 1, year 2, year 3
It would be better if you can match the headers to the lookup values... makes for better design and easier manipulation...
... but if you insist on summing as you showed, try:
=SUM(INDEX($B$2:$H$2,ROWS($A$1:$A1)),INDEX($B$2:$H$2,ROWS($A$1:$A1)+4))
adjust the B2:H2 range to suit and copied down.
