    Hey,

    I'm trying to set up a formula on a summary sheet that will pull values from other sheets depending on the code that is long side it. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to do this.

    Thanks for the help.

    Your question isn't clear. Something like a vlookup?

    Can you provide a bit more detail?

    sry, yes trying to use VLOOK UP, the formula just seams to be having an issue with the column that is being selected. On the summary page there is a code (SCS067), then on a different sheet there is the code and a value of it. There is multiple entered on the sheet for the same code and I'm looking to get the total of these values

    Do you mean that there are multiple values on the second sheet you are trying to tot on the first sheet?

    If so, you could try a DSUM, or perhaps create a pivot to sum the values on the key field and then do a vlookup on the pivot
