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!

Steve:
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!

Hey, Is anyone else facing this issue in the approval notifications sent through smartsheet
Hi Smartsheet community, I've always tried to answer questions but this is my first time posting. So I have formula =IF([Project Status]@row = "Complete", 1, 0) set up in the "Complete Check - Hide column" to check the box when the project status is marked complete. The project status column is tied to several other sheets…
I have a sheet with a list of customers in one column, and then the following columns are City, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I need help with a formula that I can put in my sheet summary so that if the customer column says Staples (It can say this in multiple rows) that it will tell me the total package…
