Applying a formula when a filter is applied

Masha Nehme

Hi! I am building a team monthly capacity tracker. Right now, it's all in one sheet and I have filters set up based on the 'Owner' column, so each team member can view and update only their projects and activities. I have a formula summing up team capacity each month at the bottom of the sheet. Is there a way to carry over the formula to when a filter is applied, so that each team member can see just their capacity each month, when they are updating the sheet? Do I need to create a sheet summary or report, or is this possible just in one sheet? Thanks in advance!

Hello again Andrée,

Sure thing. Here's a screen shot of sheet with the entire team of 5 (I hid the 'Owner' column). You see the formula at the bottom. (=SUM([May 2023]20:[May 2023]40)) Once the sheet is populated, the overall sum should not exceed 5.

Here's what that same sheet looks like with an individual Owner (me) applied. I'd like to have an ability to apply the same formula when the filter is applied so I can see what my capacity adds up to each month (100% or 1)

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Clarification - the bottom screen shot shows the sheet with the 'Owner' filter applied.
