Determine entries in a dropdown from a formula

Does anyone know if it is possible to select each item in a dropdown where you might have one or more entries, and separate each one in a formula to calculate hours * rate?

Or a work around if possible.

My current formula works fine for one entry as follows with the [Assigned To] column:

=SUMIFS({KCPL Hours _#OF HOURS}, {KCPL Hours _PROJECT_NUMBER}, [Task Name]$6, {KCPL Hours_PROJECT NAME}, [Task Name]$7, {KCPL Hours_PCL}, [Task Name]@row, {KCPL Hours_ASSIGNED TO}, [Assigned To]@row, {KCPL Hours_PROJECT TASK}, [Task Name]$12) * INDEX({Time & Material Rates_UNIT PRICE}, MATCH([Task Name]@row, {Time & Material Rates_PCL}, 0))

The [Assigned To] column in some cases would contain two names.

Any help would be great.  Thanks ahead of time.

    Hi David,

    You may want to consider placing the contacts in separate rows. As you have found, the SUMIFS (and COUNTIFS) function doesn't recognize multiple contacts in a column.

    When you have a moment, please submit a Product Enhancement Request to let our Product team know that you'd like to have this functionality in Smartsheet.
