Hi gang! Can you all help me consolidate a formula? I'm counting instances from one column of data on Tab-1, then grabbing a referenced power value from Tab-2 but sweeping through all component options available for a total. So the components are on Tab-1 and the power table on Tab2.
Tab-1 has cells C8 through C49. Within those cells will be various components, all of which can be found in the power table on Tab-2. Each cell contains a name of a component. In some cases, it could be numerous counts of one component and zero of others.
Tab-2 power table is located in cells C5 to D17. Column C will have the name of available components, Column D the related power value.
In Tab-1, I count the number of cells containing each particular component, then I grab the power value of each from Tab-2, multiply and add them for a total power of that column.
There's got to be a way to simplify this equation, but here's what I'm using for now:
=COUNTIF(C8:C49,Power!$C$5)*Power!$D$5 +COUNTIF(C8:C49,Power!$C$6)*Power!$D$6 +COUNTIF(C8:C49,Power!$C$7)*Power!$D$7 +COUNTIF(C8:C49,Power!$C$8)*Power!$D$8 +COUNTIF(C8:C49,Power!$C$9)*Power!$D$9 +COUNTIF(C8:C49,Power!$C$10)*Power!$D$10....
