I have several expense categories in a dropdown list. I am looking for a formula to calculate totals when a given category is selected. I need it search the column and total all of the amounts listed as "other", "airfare", etc...
thanks,
SGF
Try something along the lines of
=SUMIFS(Amount:Amount, [Expense Category]:[Expense Category], Description@row)
Hi Steve,
Try something like this.
Put the formula in a new column or one that isn't included below.
=SUMIF([Expense Category]:[Expense Category]; Description@row; Amount:Amount)
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=SUMIF([Expense Category]:[Expense Category], Description@row, Amount:Amount)
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did it work?
Have a fantastic week!

Please note... Andree is correct that the formula would need to go into a cell that is not being referenced within itself.
A second note: You will see that Andree's formula is laid out differently that mine. They will both work the same way. The difference is that Andree used a SUMIF, and I used a SUMIFS.
Whichever you decide to try is entirely up to you, but it is important to be mindful of the changes in syntax when you add on that S vs going without. My formula with the S removed wouldn't work, and Andree's formula with the S added would also fail.
works perfectly!
Thanks!
Excellent!
Happy to help!

This is what I have tried so far but getting #unparseable error. =INDEX(Test:Test, row() , +1) =INDEX([Test]:[Test], row() ,…
I have a formula that is currently working (see below); I need to add a condition, from a specific Column (Study Status)-that if it equals a particular choice ("Study Ongoing - Follow up"), that it doesn't even bother looking at this formula and automatically turns the FLAG off. Furthermore, I'll need to have several…
Good day, I have a native plant nursery, and I am looking to determine the number of plants that are still in the inventory and which were acquired 6 months ago or more. So, a rolling SUMIFS maybe? Wanting to do this in the sheet summary, but open to other solutions that I can display in the project's dashboard.
