Hi Paco

 

Try this?

(insert into E5 and drag the formula down using Autofill)
=SUM(G5:Column#)

 

Screen shot is below. Sample file is attached with the formula.

Hopefully I understand you right?

 

If you want to retain the references, just add $ in front of the column letter and row number (e.g. $G$5:$K$5).

 

Let me know if this suits or whether we need to dig a bit further?

Hi !

 

Thanks for the answer but I'm still at the same point. 

Let me share you this screen shots maybe you could see my problem.

I've  just downloaded the file and it has the same issue, I click on the filter to organize from the top tu bottob scorer and it happens the same. The names and team get organized but the numbers stays..!!! 

Hi Paco

 

Now I understand you!

 

Try the attached document. All I have done is rearranged the headers to line up so that when you sort (e.g. by Goles), it will sort the corresponding numbers too.

 

Before Sorting by Goles (Largest to Smallest)Before Sorting by Goles (Largest to Smallest)After Sorting by Goles (Largest to Smallest)After Sorting by Goles (Largest to Smallest)

Let me know if this is closer to your intended outcome?

Hi Paco

 

You should be able to apply the filters by turning them off, and then back on again, which will go across all the Headers in row 3, and it should not affect the set up that I have suggested.

 

Feel free to use the document I have provided my friend, it's for you after all!

 

So you know, the issue was that the headers were not lined up in the same row (3) so when you sorted your Goles Largest to Smallest, it didn't include J1, J2, etc. Now it will sort everything.

 

Please let us know if you require anything further.
