Hello @Craig and other Helpers

i copy your formula below and try to adapt with "laserjet" type
i want to make a sum if a name appear in the row i write it but doesn t work
=SUMIF( [Syndic]1: [Syndic]1132]; FIND("Crouzet"; @cell) > 1; [Total HT]1:[Total HT]1132)
in order to find "Crouzet" wich is a part of name ex "Crouzet Breil"
I m new to Smartsheet et don t understand why

Try replacing your semicolons with commas.
=SUMIF( [Syndic]1: [Syndic]1132], FIND("Crouzet"; @cell) > 1, [Total HT]1:[Total HT]1132)

thank you Mike but doesn t work
=SUMIF( [Syndic]1: [Syndic]1132], FIND(Crouzet,@cell) > 1, [Total HT]1:[Total HT]1132)

Try removing the brackets off of Syndic like this... brackets should only be used if the column name contains a space.
=SUMIF(Syndic1:Syndic1132], FIND("Crouzet",@cell) > 1, [Total HT]1:[Total HT]1132)
There was also a space character after the first colon. Both of those could have been the issue. Also, the Find function should have "quotes" around the text you are searching for. Let me know if it works now.

hello Mike thank you so much
but .. doesnt work
i think you understand my goal to make sum by name

Hi Amaud, I hadn't responded because I had hoped another individual would chime in. I can't seem to get the formula with Find work. As a workaround,
1. You can create a new column çalled Crouzet and place the find formula =Find("Crouzet", Syndic1) in the first field of that column.
2. Use the little square in the bottom-right (or double-click it) to fill the formula all the way down)
2. Hide the column if you don't want to see it in your view.
3. Then use this formula to sum your =Sumif(crouzet1:crouzet1132, 1, [Total HT]1:[Total HT]1132)
I was able to get this done in my example.

Essentially, you could create a column for each "Name you are trying to sum and use the same formula to tally those.

Update:
Legrand approached me offline about this and I finally got to it on Aug 22 I'm a bit behind on August threads so am just getting here.
He shared the sheet with me and I fixed it. Here's what I told him:
I added this formula:
=SUMIF(Syndic1:Syndic1122, FIND("CROUZET", @cell) > 1, [Total HT]1:[Total HT]1122)
to the cell next to your sum in row 1123 as I did not know where to put it.
Syndic1 points to the [Syndic] column, row 1.
Syndic1122 points to the same column, but row 1122.
If you don't have a row 1122, you will get an error.
Better is to try to use the whole column like this
Syndic:Syndic
instead of
Syndic1:Syndic1122
Also, if using the exact rows, all the ranges need to be the same size.
This would work
=SUMIF(Syndic1:Syndic1122, FIND("CROUZET", @cell) > 1, [Total HT]1:[Total HT]1122)
but this would not
=SUMIF(Syndic1:Syndic1122, FIND("CROUZET", @cell) > 1, [Total HT]1:[Total HT]999)
(I changed the last number to 999)
He said that worked.

Gotcha, so it was an issue with the number of rows in his sheet. Thanks for sharing the solution. It looks like the number of rows in his sheet changed from his original post. This is one of the downfalls of community support (not having all the facts). I like the range solution without the row numbers. I have started using that more and will advise community members accordingly. I will also try to keep that in mind when community members share formulas with a specific range from the get go. I am glad you were able to assist him and that it now works.
