How to sum hours based on criteria in to tables (Excel) -


having "tables" excel

            b      c      d        e       f 1          category               project  hours 2  project    c1     c2             p1       10 3    p1        x                    p2       20 4    p2               x             p3       30 5    p3        x      x 6    p4        x   

a2:c6 shows list of project. each project belongs 1 og more categories
e2:f4 shows time spent on each project

i'm looking way sum time spent in each category. answer obvious (40h , 50h), can't figure out how construct working formula, provide answer

      h           1  category   sum hours 2     c1          40 3     c2          50   

any ideas ?

this simple application of sumif. can enter =sumif(b3:b6;"x";$f2:$f5) in i2 , modify accordingly other category. if apply formulae next 1 instead of below 1 another, can copy formula across.

i recommend change sheet in following way:

           b        c        d          e       f 1           =sumif1 =sumif2            project  hours 2  project    c1       c2    hours        p1       10 3    p1        x             =vlookup     p2       20 4    p2                 x    =vlookup     p3       30 5    p3        x        x    =vlookup 6    p4        x             =vlookup 

where sumif1 formula =sumif(b3:b6;"x";$d3:$d6) , sumif2 1 copied over. work whatever labels choose. vlookup formula in d3 =vlookup(a3;$e$2:$f$4;2;false). note have #na d6 since there no hours p4. fix , have relatively general solution.
