Sum against matching criteria onto another sheet
Hi!
I'm trying to create my calculation sheet in order to develop my dashboard, but I can't get my SUMIF to work. This is a project tracker in that I was able to get my project-type counts to work with the COUNTIF formula, and now I want to do the same but on the total $ amount column, however I cannot get this to work!
The syntax i'm using is: =SUMIF({APM Request Form - - SOW Total}, [Primary Column]@row)

Hi @StefSoks711_PP,
The syntax for your SUMIF is off, it should be SUMIF(range, criterion, [sum_range]).
Give something like this a try.
=SUMIF({project-type}, [Project-Type]@row, {APM Request Form - - SOW Total})
Make sure to change range names and column names as appropriate to your setup.
Hope this helps,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the help, but it's still not working. Here's the background, I have a project tracker where the agency name is captured for each project requested (for privacy, i had to black out the names in the Agency/Vendor column).
I'm then summarizing the data into a new worksheet where I want to show the total amount per agency below. I was able to successfully get "COUNTIF" to work to see total project/contract counts, but I'm struggling with calculating the total $ field. Note that the Agency/Vendor list is under the "primary column" in the new sheet.

As @DKazatsky2 pointed out, you need to use the syntax SUMIF(range, criterion, [sum_range]).
Therefore, in your case, you need to insert the criterion range, as shown in bold below. (the Agency/Vendor column)
Β =SUMIF({APM Request Form - - SOW Total}, {APM Request Form - Agency/Vendor}, [Primary Column]@row)

Hi @StefSoks711_PP,
This is what you need.
=SUMIF({APM Request Form - Agency/Vendor}, [Primary Column]@row, {APM Request Form - - SOW Total}
Make sure to create the reference "{APM Request Form - Agency/Vendor}" pointing to the "Agency/Vendor" column the same way you made the "APM Request Form - - SOW Total} reference.

@DKazatsky2 is right.
Mine should have been the SUMIFS function.
=SUMIFS({APM Request Form - - SOW Total}, {APM Request Form - Agency/Vendor}, [Primary Column]@row)
Or as Dkazatsky2 correctly commented;
=SUMIF({APM Request Form - Agency/Vendor}, [Primary Column]@row, {APM Request Form - SOW Total})
