    Hi @H.L.Dixon2021,


    I would suggest that you create a helper column that copies the amount from the Program Revenue column. You could hide it from view and then use that Program Revenue (Helper Column) in your formula above. Your helper column would essentially be =[Program Revenue]@row. And then right click on that helper cell formula to convert it to a column formula.


    Try that out and it should work.


    All the best!
