SUMIF with two Ranges.??
I want to create a cross-sheet formula and have two conditions for the formula to go through to result in a value. If the value in column1 is 1 and column2 is VendorX then sum all values in column3 corresponding to the conditions. I am not sure if the SUMIF will work for this.

Sum formula with an IF statement
I've got 4 rows of data (and there will eventually be more).

Can a formula determine hierarchy?
I doubt this is possible but thought I'd ask anyway. I want to know if there's a way to indent a row with a formula.

COUNTIF Formula for when a cell contains a specific word/phrase?
I'm trying to create a formula that allows me to count the number of times the word "Postcard", for example, appears in a list in a column. I am referencing a column in another sheet to do so.
