I have the following columns: Job Title, Week, Total People

The data looks like this:

Job Title Week Total People
PM W2 1
Tech Edit W3 5
Net Engineer W2 2
Programmer W12 10
Programmer2 W1 5
PMLVL2 W3 4
....

I have a named range of week, W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W6, W6, W8, W8, W10,
W11, W12, named "weeks".

I'm trying to build a chart to show the total number of people for
each week. So I need to total up all the W1s, W2s, etc. to display my
chart.

So you just want to sum them?

=SUMIF(B2:B20,"W1",C2:C20)

Have you thought about creating a pivottable and then a chart from that?

You may want to change your week abbreviations to W01, W02, ...
so that they sort in a nicer order.
