Formula Help

Stuart.d

Hi,



Are you able to help?



I have a column named "snag" which is a red flag check box, then another column named "PM" with drop down name initials 



I need a formula that calculates, when a Red flag is raised and PM name is "XYZ" the result is = ZZ number of projects



I'm going wrong somewhere and can't get it right, see images and attempted formula



Regards 

SD

Hi Stuart,

You need to use a COUNTIFS formula. SUMIF won't work because it looks for something to sum.

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

THANKYOU! 



Now can you help with



If red flag checked, the PM is XYZ- then the project value column added up = Total £value of projects with snags.

Happy to help!

Try this for the second question.

=SUMIFS(PROJECTVALUE:PROJECTVALUE; SNAGS:SNAGS; 1; PM:PM; "SCD")    

The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.    

=SUMIFS(PROJECTVALUE:PROJECTVALUE, SNAGS:SNAGS, 1, PM:PM, "SCD")

Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Did it work?

Best,

Andrée

Hi, 



Thanks for helping- this one hasn't worked  



Any other ideas?  I'm in the UK of course as you know, so tried changing items also. Still no look. Not evening picking up the columns to show i'm close

Happy to!

That is weird!

Try to edit the formula a little to force it to update. After the design update, I've had occasions where I had to do the same.

Did it work? (share it to me otherwise, and I'll take a look)

Best,

Andrée
