You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
Open the file in the folder shown above.

Here we have also used the LOWER function to put the category code into lower case
Put a formula into the blue cell using the INDIRECT function to calculate the total for the category entered for the three months:

When you change the category, the total will change
You want to sum not the range B14, but the range whose name appears in the range B14.
Save and close the workbook.
