SUMIFS FORMULA ERROR: #CIRCULAR REFERENCE #BLOCKED

MickeyD

I have a sheet I am making to track estimated project hours per week/month. The employee is going to fill out one line per project. I want a calculation at the bottom that summarizes the data per month.

My formula is: =SUMIFS([Jan '23 HPW]:[Jan '23 HPW], Resource:Resource, "Austin Merritt")

The Jan '23 HPW column is a Text/Number type and the Resource is a single drop down list.

It works when I have a single entry in the sheet, but the moment I add another line and try to calculate multiple people. (see screen shots below)

Any thoughts?

SINGLE:

MULTIPLE:

@MickeyD Hi, A screen shot of the sheet would help to understand how it was setup. Still I suggest having the calculations in the sheet summary section or in a separate sheet.
