Sum of columns * another column

Bosakie

Hello,

I have a row with one column I am using as an Importance Rating. I have four columns I am summing up and want to multiply by the Importance Rating column. I have been reading through the possible answers in the discussions, but keep getting an #UNPARSEABLE error.

This is my formula - =SUM([Business Value]@row:Financial@row)*[Importance Rating])

If I leave off the multiplication part of the formula I can sum the columns correctly. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @Bosakie

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this. (you were missing the @row at the end)

=SUM([Business Value]@row:Financial@row) * [Importance Rating]@row

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Yes, Thank you very much for the quick response. I am completing a Value Complexity Matrix for projects where it automatically places the project in a quadrant based on values for criteria and then placed in a business value and Implementation Complexity quadrant. This was the final step and it works perfectly.
