=SUMIFS($E$2:$E$1000,$A$2:$A$1000,A1003,$B$2:$B$1000,B1003,$D$2:$D$1000,D1003)
This is a SUMIFS formula, where the first range of column E we’ve defined is the thing to add up, then we have pairs of criteria range and criteria in columns A, B and C.
I’m suggesting that column A is range, column B is series, column C is country, column D is the cluster (see below) and column E is the number we’re adding up.
MattClarke is spot on, the first job to do is to map the countries into clusters using a VLOOKUP, place that formula in column D.
The formula above assumes it is operating on a summary table starting underneath the main data set at row 1003. You’ll need unique values to reference in the range criteria.
So much easier if we could share a spreadsheet :) make sure you click the function building button left of the formula bar, for an explanation of SUMIFS.
