Creating multiple variable

ARAJPUT_HENRY
6 - Meteoroid

Hello Everyone,

 

Can anyone help me get to the solution of the  data shown below-

 

I have around 250 variables that should be summed up to 90 variables. Example- A and B are variables that need to be built. A= A1+A2+A3, B= B1+B2+B3 . I know this can be easily done by formula tool but I have to make 90 variables like that. Any dynamic solution to sum up column A 1,2, 3,4 or 5 to variable named A , B1,2,3,4 or 5 to B and likewise to create 90 variables without writing code for each variable

 

Thank you !
