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!

I have a sheet that has 20 cells that are dates Due and Done for 10 categories. I have an Overdue Week column that I want to show "Yes" if a Due date is prior to current week. I managed to do that, but once one date leads to a "Yes" it never changes even if the task is completed and marked in the corresponding Done cell.…
Hi folks, I'm struggling with a formula that should be simple. When the formula is this, it works great for one of two Types. The second type pulls the wrong Billing Annual Fee. =IFERROR(INDEX(COLLECT({Billing Annual Fee}, {Segment}, Segment@row, {Billing Ownership}, [Billing Ownership]@row), 1), 0) When I modify the…
