Formula for summarized health indicators for discrete categories

Hello,

Perhaps this has been answered elsewhere - in which case I appreciate being redirected.

I am trying to determine if it is possible to create formulae that summarizes a health indicator symbol (Red, Yellow, Green) across multiple rows in a sheet, when further categorized by a variable in another column. So, in other words, I am trying to get a aggregate health symbol across each row/task in a given project, by task type category. This variable is "Task Type" (which includes 4 items: Training, Evaluation, Marketing, and Leadership).

Is this feasible and, if so, what recommendations would you have for parsing out the formula?

Happy to provide further information in case this is coming across garbled.

Hello Bryan

Yes - it is possible to summarise data on more than 1 column in a row (if that is what you are asking!)

Using the =SUMIFS() to total values in a column where the health status is X and the TaskType is Y or =COUNTIFS() to see how many entries match a health status being X while the TaskType is Y.

I'd be happy to help formulate the function with you if you are willing to leave a little more information about the scenario you have.

Kind regards

A multiple SUMIF function
My current formula is below. I would like to update this so that I only get a total of those that have been Quoted and have a timeframe data of 2025. How do I add this extra filter into the formula? =SUMIF(Status:Status, "Quoted", [Est. GP]:[Est. GP])
Missing column in Report if I use a formula
I'm not able to "view by" a field that I have in my sheets - Quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) - in my report. I think it is because I have used a formula to calculate the quarters in my sheets. Does anyone know a way to get a formula based field on the dropdown for view by in my report?
SUMIF function not working
=SUMIFS({GM Compliance Trained}, {GM Compliance Training Dept}, Department@row , {Compliance Training Date}, MONTH(7, 8, 9)) GM Compliance Trained is the number of employees trained. I am trying to sum the number of employees trained in each department during 3rd quarter (July 1-Sep 30). Thinking I need an IFERROR in there…
