SUMIF - FORMULA CAN'T FIND A NUMBER STARTING WITH "0"

Gino Medeiros

Hi,

I'm trying to Sum total cost. But it doesn't recognize the number "00000013".

Also, if I change the criterion to "13" and switch to another column with =RIGHT,2 formula, from the "00000013" column that would equal "13", it still doesn't work.

My formula is

=SUMIF({02. BUDGET TRACKER COST CODE}, "00000013", {02. BUDGET TRACKER EXTENDED COST})

Please let me know if there is a work around.

FYI, if I manually change the "00000013" to "13" (no formula) and use the below formula, it works. Problem is I don't want to manually change 200+ lines every upload my report.

=SUMIF({02. BUDGET TRACKER COST CODE}, "13", {02. BUDGET TRACKER EXTENDED COST})

Thank you,

Hi Gino,

Have you looked at using the VALUE function?

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend & Happy New Year!
