SUMIF the amount in one column has the correct pipeline status in another column

lizbairdsd

Can someone please help me with SUMIF, I am losing my mind and keep getting errors. 

 

I have a pipeline document with status' ( approved, declined, awaiting client, in progress,etc) and I need to show in a dashboard the sum associated with each item. 

 

PIPELINE STATUS | dropdown with status'

AMOUNT APPROVED |  the dollar amounts per grant

 

I have tried: 

1. =sumif(amount approved:amount approved, "approved", [pipeline status]:[pipeline status])              =#unparseable

2.  =sumif([amount approved]:[amount approved], "approved", [pipeline status]:[pipeline status])

= gives me a $0 but should be $37,111

3. =sumif([amount approved]:[amount approved],[pipeline status]:[pipeline status], "approved")

= incorrect argument set

4. 

=sumif(amount approved:amount approved,[pipeline status]:[pipeline status], "approved")

=unparseable

 

Can someone please help? I am starting to lose it and on a deadline.  

 

Thank you!

sumif(Range, Criteria, [Sum Range])

as per documentation on https://help.smartsheet.com/function/sumif

Range: Range on which the criteria is checked against

Criteria: Criteria you wish to search on the range

[Sum Range]: Hard brackets means optional. If left empty, Range will be used as sum. If range is posted, when range meets criteria, value in [Sum Range] will be used as sum.

In your case,

range: [Pipeline Status]:[Pipeline Status]

Criteria: "Approved"

[Sum Range]: [Amount Approved]:[Amount Approved]

=sumif([Pipeline Status]:[Pipeline Status],"Approved",[Amount Approved]:[Amount Approved])
