Help with SUMIFS in a sheet Summary Field
Hello!
I am stuck - trying to leverage a sheet summary field to sum a total, where one of the columns has two conditions that I want to exclude from the Sum. I can get one of them to work:
=SUMIFS([Amount]:[Amount], [Business Unit]:[Business Unit], "Sales", [Priority]:[Priority], <>"Required")
It's that last condition. I also want to exclude when the priority column also contains the text "NA".
But I can't figure out how to construct the formula to exclude both

Hello @patricks,
It looks like in this image that the NA criteria is in a separate column, would that be correct?
Are you looking to sum [CapEx & OpEx], if [Finance Business Area] is "Data & Analytics" and [IT Priority] is not "1-Required in Flight" and [Strategic Alignment Activity] is not "NA"?
If so then I think the following could work for you.

Hello @patricks,
The formula below could work for you, it will exclude "NA" and "Required" from the SUMIF formula.
=SUMIFS(Amount:Amount, [Business Unit]:[Business Unit], "sales", Priority:Priority, <>"Required", Priority:Priority, <>"NA")
I hope that is helpful to you in some way,

Thanks for the speedy reply. Not quite there yet.
Here is the acutal column names - the amount doesn't change in the Summary field - so it is not excluding those two criterria:
=SUMIFS([CapEx & OpEx]:[CapEx & OpEx], [Finance Business Area]:[Finance Business Area], "Data & Analytics", [IT Priority]:[IT Priority], <>"NA", [IT Priority]:[IT Priority], <>"1-Required in Flight")

Hello @patricks,
Are you set up like this image below, its functioning well in the demo.
=SUMIFS([CapEx & OpEx]:[CapEx & OpEx], [Finance Business Area]:[Finance Business Area], "Data & Analytics", [IT Priority]:[IT Priority], <>"NA", [IT Priority]:[IT Priority], <>"1-Required in Flight")

I am setup like that. The first column is a formula. The 2nd two are restricted dropdown lists. The data set shows that these items (marked with NA) are still being summed:
If I remove the 2nd condition, the summary is sitll including the NA items:
=SUMIFS([CapEx & OpEx]:[CapEx & OpEx], [Finance Business Area]:[Finance Business Area], "Data & Analytics", [IT Priority]:[IT Priority], <>"NA")
Makes me think it is the not equal nomenclature that isn't working.

That did it! Turns out it is what I call a stupid attack - I thought both of those values were in the IT Priority column! Thanks for the help and problem solved!
