How can I validate that the sum of subtotals are less or equal to the Total in an Array (Numerics)?

I have a table with 2 rows and 3 columns:
 

So what's the best option to alert to a user that the sum of Subtotal1 + Subtotal2 is greather than the Total.
I tried writing a formula but it doesn't recognize the variables, so I don't know where to start looking:
 
 
 

Hi,

Why didn't you answer the initial questions about your version, etc.?

You have to use the correct QCODES to access the cells.
As described here

You have an array(numbers). So there are two axes of subquestions
Meaning:
Total of Spotify: Q1_SQ002_SQ001
Total of Facebook: Q1_SQ003_SQ001
Subtotal1 of Spotify: Q1_SQ002_SQ008
and so on.

I always advice to use different codes for y-axis ("Y001", "Y002",...) and x-axis ("X001", "X002",...) less confusion

Furthermore your function is wrong.

And at last: it is not a subquestion validation.
You have to use question validation and insert all rows.
