SUMIFS with variable criteria - analyzing data
I have a worksheet that is populated by way of a 'form'.
There is a small snapshot of my worksheet below.
Some how I need to sort by 'PC #', Sum Total Invoices for each PC and report 'Remaining to Invoice' (Proposal Amount - Sum of Total Invoices)
Obviously I can manually sort, SUM and subtract from Proposal Amount but was hoping there was an automated solution that I could build. However, I'm at a loss as to how to go about that.
Any thoughts?

Hi @PeggyLang
I hope you're well and safe!
Have you explored using a Report instead and the group/sum feature?
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

VERY often my brain comes up with a solution (maybe not the best one) almost immediately after I speak with someone or post a question. This is exactly what happened in this situation.
I think the limitation with a report and group/sum is that I needed to be able to report 'Remaining to Bill'.
So . . . I created a Vendor Invoice Summary sheet. I used data mesh to collect the 'unique' PC#'s and the corresponding 'Proposal Amount'. Then I wrote a 'SUMIF' formula to obtain 'Total Invoices Submitted' and subtracted it from 'Proposal Amount' to come up with a 'Remaining to Bill' amount. Got fancy and highlighted red when it appears there has been overspend.
I think it works? Looks like it works? I'll use it for awhile and see if there are any glitches I haven't yet thought of.
