SUMIF using CONTAINS from a different sheet

Hammermill21

Hello!

I am trying to sum from a certain column when another column contains the word "RSMAS", this is what I am trying and it doesn't seem to work:

=SUMIF({Completed Request - Safe Return to Campus Range 2}, CONTAINS("RSMAS", {Completed Request - Safe Return to Campus Range 3}))

Any ideas?

Thank you!!

My apologies. I missed the SUMIF part. It's been a long day...

=SUMIF({Column Housing Text}, CONTAINS("RSMAS", @cell), {Column You Want To Sum})

Try this...

=SUMIF({Completed Request - Safe Return to Campus Range 2}, CONTAINS("RSMAS", @cell))

"@cell" basically tells the formula to evaluate the previously established range on a cell by cell basis.

Hey Paul,

Nope that doesn't work I get #INVAID REF. The two columns are not next to each other, does that make a difference?
