    Hi @MATAYLOR,

    You are right in using the SUMIF function for this purpose but the arguments would need a little tweak:

    My best recommendation would be to use =SUMIF([The Following Agent]:[The Following Agent], Names@row, [Points Awarded]:[Points Awarded]) as a Column Formula so that you only need to write it once and for all agents


    But if you wish to have a dedicated formula per agent so that you can manually edit values in your "Total awarded" Column, you may use the following instead: =SUMIF([The Following Agent]:[The Following Agent], "Aimee Young", [Points Awarded]:[Points Awarded])

    I hope that this can be of help.

    Cheers!

    Thank you that's perfect , don't suppose you know how to wright formula that would

    look at the following agent column, at say Aimee added all points for just her name in column point award, and put the total in the total point awarded column.

    i can get it to return a a value but not total

    i've tried

    =SUMIF("Aimee Young", [The Following Agent]@row, [Points awarded]@row)

    =SUMIF("Aimee Young", "Aimee Young", [Points awarded]@row)
