SUMIF
Hello, I am trying to create a sumif formula to work out a value of column each time a name appears in a different column. I am currently using the below but it keeps coming back with #UNPARSEABLE
=SUMIF([Assigned 1st]:[Assigned 1st], "[Nicola Sutton]", [Job Value]:[Job Value]

Richard,
You can write this a couple way's - Once by manually using the name as the reference "Nicola" =SUMIF([Assigned 1st]:[Assigned 1st], "Nicola", [Job Value]:[Job Value]) or you can automate the formula by using an @row referencing the cell with the persons name =SUMIF([Assigned 1st]:[Assigned 1st], Person@row, [Job Value]:[Job Value])

rgochee- Thanks for your help,
I have used this formula and now is comes up with 0, when I use their full name. But when I change the assigned 1st column to just using their first name it works. Will SUMIF only work on singular names?

Still showing 0, :(

Do you mind snipping a screen shot columns and your formula.

Hi Richard,
Here are two options. One with the name in the formula and one which reference another cell with the name in it.
Try something like this.
NAME
=SUMIF([Assigned 1st]:[Assigned 1st]; "Nicola Sutton"; [Job Value]:[Job Value])
The same version but with the below changes for convenience.
=SUMIF([Assigned 1st]:[Assigned 1st], "Nicola Sutton", [Job Value]:[Job Value])
REFERENCE
=SUMIF([Assigned 1st]:[Assigned 1st]; [Assigned 1st]@row; [Job Value]:[Job Value])
The same version but with the below changes for convenience.
=SUMIF([Assigned 1st]:[Assigned 1st], [Assigned 1st]@row, [Job Value]:[Job Value])
Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
