More than one range

Amber Jackson

Hi gurus!

I am having trouble with multiple SUMIFS. I have tried nesting them, but there must be an easier way.

I need to sum the cells in the GW and CGW columns when people manager=yes.

Can anyone help? I feel like the answer is right in front of me, but I can't seem to reach it.

TIA!

Hi @Amber Jackson

Try something like this.

=SUMIF([People Manager]:[People Manager], "Yes", [GW Jan]:[GW Jan]) + SUMIF([People Manager]:[People Manager], "Yes", [Covid GW Jan]:[Covid GW Jan])

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hi @Andrée Starå!

That formula is what I tried before and it gives an INVALID OPERATION error. Any other ideas?

Strange!

I'd be happy to take a quick look.

Can you maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s)? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

Hey SS Team,

Trying to use multiple date ranges in a SUMIFS statement using ORs. For example, in each of the columns shown in the below image, I would like it to sum the range (column is "Cost", not shown) if any date in any of the 3 columns is in the range of January 1-January 31 of this year.

I am able to do this with a single column like the following =SUMIFS(Cost:Cost, [Estimated Delivery Date]:[Estimated Delivery Date], AND(@cell >= DATE(2021, 1, 1), @cell < DATE(2021, 1, 31))) - however i cant seem to get the sheet summary formula to work with ORs, the same formula above but including all 3 columns in the same duration of January.

Hi @TroyT

One solution would be to add a helper checkbox column to evaluate your three date columns by row, then use the checkbox column in your SUMIFs formula.

Using this approach, the formula in your checkbox helper column is

=IF(COUNTIFS([Estimated Delivery Date]@row:[Estimated Revision Date]@row, AND(IFERROR(YEAR(@cell) = 2021, 0), IFERROR(MONTH(@cell), 0) = 1)) > 0, 1)

The SUMIFs formula becomes

=SUMIFS(Cost:Cost, [helper checkbox]:[helper checkbox], 1)

Would this work for you?

Thank you very much for the above, that does work! I really appreciate the suggestion.
