Sheet Summary Formula

Options

Asking for help again with a formula. I need to create a formula in Sheet Summary that rolls up how many participants from each of the 10 columns above attended which "Program Type." Program Type is a dropdown. For context: How many Blue Ridge participants attended "PSUDS ECHO."

Wondering if the structure of the sheet is not the best for this.


Thanks for the help!

    Hi @Kayla Rice ,

    Your formula to do this, using your example, would be:

    =SUMIF([Program type]:[program type],  "PSUDS ECHO", [blue ridge]:[blue ridge]

    You'll need a formula for each combination of column and program.

    It may be easier for you to create a report. Grouping and totaling may get you a display that works.

    Help?

    @Mark Cronk Thank you! This is helpful. And you are right that a report worked better for my needs. I was able to use grouping to get at what I needed. Thanks!
