Formula Help

I'm trying to create a SUMIF formula that looks at the salesperson name in a column and adds up or totals their $ sales in another column. To ultimately show in Dashboard of Totals Sales by Salesperson Any help appreciated of how the formula should look.

    If you don't have this bookmarked, I recommend it: Functions List | Smartsheet Learning Center

    From that click on sumifs() and you get the following:

    Syntax
    SUMIFS(range, criterion_range1, criterion1, [criterion_range2, criterion2, ...])
    range— The cells to add, belonging to rows that meet all the criteria.
    criterion_range1— The cells to evaluate by the criterion.
    criterion1— The condition for cell values in the criterion range to match; for example: 15, "Hello World!", or >25.
    criterion_range2, criterion2, ... —[optional] Additional ranges and criteria to evaluate.

    So, in your case, if you are adding up everything in a single sheet:

    =sumifs([Sales]:[Sales],[Name]:[Name],[Name]@row)

    or, if your actual sales data is stored in some other sheet:

    =sumifs({SalesData},{NamesFromDataSheet},[Name]@row)
