Sum Ifs Formula

Nathan Umbriac

Hello,

I was able to create a formula to reference a sheet and calculate total activity cost per month:

=SUMIFS({May}, {Activities}, CONTAINS("Book-in", @cell))

Results are the total cost of activities that contain 'Book-in'.

However, when I tried to recreate this formula and reference another sheet, I get incorrect argument set:

=SUMIFS({January 2019}, {Activities}, CONTAINS("book", @cell))

Any thoughts?

Thank you!

Nathan

Hi @Nathan Umbriac,

I tried your formula and it worked for me. Have you tried writing the formula from scratch? It could be the sheet references have got their wires crossed.

Best,

Hannah

@Hannah H Thank you. I deleted the formula and retyped it. My assumption as well is that the references needed to be re-referenced.

Thanks for your help!
