#UNPARSEABLE error

Can anyone help identify the problem here? It is a simple formula to sum the numbers if 2 conditions are met and works perfectly in excel but Smartsheet keeps giving this error.

=SUMIFS({DHR Team Time off Planner 2023 Range 1}, {DHR Team Time off Planner 2023}, [DHR Team Member]@row, {DHR Team Time off Planner 2023 Range 3},"vacation"}})

Could it be because the name match is a drop down string value?

    Hi @Kash

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Try something like this.

    =SUMIFS({DHR Team Time off Planner 2023 Range 1}, {DHR Team Time off Planner 2023}, [DHR Team Member]@row, {DHR Team Time off Planner 2023 Range 3},"vacation"

    Did that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Best,

    Hi Andrée,

    Thank you I am very well and happy since I have been at it for a few hours and it worked :D

    Can't believe it was just the parenthesis issue, excel would usually just remove extras but here as well I did try a few combinations. Anyway, thanks it works perfectly now!

    Hope you are staying well and safe during today's snow storm as well.
