How to get total hours worked when people are not the same on each worksheet
We need to add some to the data organization.
1) Named list of sheets which will be summed is added here
It could be at any place of your workbook. If you expand the list don't forget to update the rage in Name Manager
2) Since Total is in different column in different sheets I duplicated it in column AA for each sheet:
3) With that in Cumulative sheet we may use formula to sum sheets.
In C3 is
=SUMPRODUCT( SUMIF( INDIRECT("'" & sheets & "'!" & "A3:A40"), A3, INDIRECT( "'" & sheets & "'!" & "AA3:AA40") ))and drag it down. I used formula exactly as in https://exceljet.net/formula/3d-sumif-for-multiple-worksheets, you may check this post for the explanation how it works.
SergeiBaklanThank you for helping but I still don't understand how I can get the cumulative hours for people who aren't on the same line on the two worksheets without going through and doing a XLOOKUP one at a time for each person. In my practice sample, Amy is on line 2 in Week 1 Hrs worksheet and line 3 on Week 2 Hrs worksheet. How can I XLOOKUP without going one by one to each worksheet and referencing the name?
Let me clarify, would you like to have in each next worksheet cumulative time for all previous worksheets plus current one; or you'd like to calculate in separate worksheet cumulative time for all people involved and all periods.
If the latest technique could be as Excel formula: 3D SUMIF for multiple worksheets | Exceljet
SergeiBaklanThank you again for taking the time to help me. I did not word my request well, yes, I would like all the cumulative hours for all the volunteers on one separate worksheet. I looked at the reference you gave me but I think I am too much of a beginner to understand how to do it. I have been using Excel for a while and taking the Coursera course from Macquarie U in Sydney, but not really up to speed on XLOOKUP or your reference.
