Trying to use SUMIF to Sum one column but only of the items in another column

jvanhemm

I am trying to get the SUM of SaaS Value if the value in the Backlog Status column is Active Backlog.

Tried this and I am getting unparseable

SUMIF([Backlog Status]:[Backlog Status],”Inactive Backlog”, [SaaS Value]:[SaaS Value])

Hi @jvanhemm

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=SUMIF([Backlog Status]:[Backlog Status],"Inactive Backlog", [SaaS Value]:[SaaS Value])

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

It looks like maybe you typed the formula in Word or some other similar application. Try retyping it here, directly in the sheet, or in a text editor such as Notepad.

The slanted commas are called "Smart Quotes" which are (ironically enough) not recognized as valid characters in Smartsheet formulas.
