Re: Sumifs & multi-select dropdown referencing other sheet
Try this:
=SUMIFS({Branch HC Column}, {Branch Column}, @cell = PARENT(Branch@row), {EMP Group}, HAS([Affected Employees]@row, @cell))

Re: Help with SUMIFS formula
@punitjha Smartsheet's SUMIFS can sum horizontally.
@Paul69g Give this a try instead:
=IF(AND([Column10]4 = [Today's year]#, [Column10]3 >= 1, [Column14]3 <= 6), SUM([Column10]@row:[Column14]@row))
If the above does not work, please provide a screenshot.

Hi there, dear all,
My name is Hans and I am a German. Have been working more than twenty years in the tough automotive industry as a project manager and also accomplished at this time to be Smartsheet certified and was teaching my fellow coworkers in project management as well. Now I am 66 years old. But when I retired then it turned out that my wife got sick, handicapped to a 100% degree and sits now in a wheelchair. At the same time my almost ninety-year-old mother broke her hip. I took her with me home and care now also for her as well. This was and still is a big challenge for me. Nonetheless, I think I manage everything pretty well by caring for them and do laundry and run the household and so on. They are my first priority and neither of them had to go to a nursing home! First goal accomplished!
Handling two severely handicapped people took a lot of my energy. T
o still stay sane I needed to do something else purposeful too. I needed mentally distraction. So I decided to write a book. A textbook about Smartsheet and WBS (Work-Breakdown-Structure), embedded into a novel. This was already forever always my dream in my life! Easter this year 2025 I released my e-book at Kindle Direct Publishing. It has 416 pages, is written in German language, and you can look it up at Amazon when you there search either for “Smartsheet” or my name “Hans Porzel”. Second mission also accomplished!
Happy smiles!
Here a few pictures so you may get a better idea where I am talking about.

Re: Smartsheet recognized as a Customers' Choice in the Gartner® Peer Insights™ + Giveaway
I use Smartsheet at work all the time, and there are a ton of projects that I could mention. Instead of work, though, I'm gonna highlight a personal use.
Almost a year ago, my partner and I bought a house! As everyone knows, with a new house comes new challenges. We planned everything out, did a LOT of research with our finances, and after a few months, something was just off. So, to Smartsheet I went! Using Smartsheet, I redid all things budgeting and expenses, breaking everything out both individually and through shared expenses. Thanks to this, we were able to confidently adjust, and everything has been smooth sailing since. It seems simple, but it's lifted a HUGE stress from our lives.
Re: I need to Sum a column from a reference sheet and display the number in my primary sheet
Hi @Jewelle W
You can use the SUMIFS function.
=SUMIFS({TS WIP Incurred Hours}, {TS WIP : Project Name}, [Project Name]@row , {TS WIP : Phase Name}, [Phase Name]@row , {TS WIP : Task Name}, [Task Name]@row )
By the way, the correct format for COUNTIF(S) and SUMIF in your formula is as shown below.
=COUNTIF({Incurred Hours}, {Phase Name} = [Phase Name]@row )
=COUNTIF({Incurred Hours},>0, {Phase Name} , [Phase Name]@row )
COUNTIFS(range1, criterion1, [range2, criterion2, ...])
=IF([Budget:]@row > 0, SUMIF({Incurred Hours}, {Phase Name} = [Phase Name]@row ), "")
=IF([Budget:]@row > 0, SUMIF( {Phase Name}, [Phase Name]@row, ({Incurred Hours} ), "")
SUMIF(range, criterion, [sum_range])
Re: Display all column values on a Dashboard
- Create a Report:
- Go to Browse > Create > Report.
- Use a Row Report.
- Set the source sheet to the one with your desired column.
- Under Columns to Display, include only the column you want to show.
- Use filters if needed (e.g., exclude blanks or duplicates).
- Save the Report.
- Add to Dashboard:
- Open your Dashboard.
- Add a Report Widget.
- Select the report you just made.
- Resize/format as needed.
✅ Best method for listing multiple values directly from a column.
