Summarizing a column based on another multi select column

Hello - I have a column named "Monthly Hours" that lists hours (integers). I have another column called "Site of request" that lists the site(s). That column is multi-select. I would like to summarize hours spent per site. So, if the "Monthly Hours" column has a 10, and the "Site of request" lists "Site A" and "Site B", and if another row has 5 hours for just "Site A", then it would summarize 15 for A and 10 for B.

The ultimate goal here is to graph monthly hours per site.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hi @Mark Hibyan

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=
SUMIFS([Monthly Hours]:[Monthly Hours], [Site of request]:[Site of request], 
HAS(@cell, "B"))

Or (if you want to reference the Site in another column)

=
SUMIFS([Monthly Hours]:[Monthly Hours], [Site of request]:[Site of request], 
HAS(@cell, Sites@row))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Thank you @Andrée Starå , that worked! I had been playing around with the syntax to no avail. Is there a way to dynamically do this, so that I don't have to create a summary field for each site and hard code the site name? The "Site of request" column is a multi select list for the end user, and there are 16 sites (that can change over time). I'm wondering if there's an easy way to just sum hours (in the "Monthly Hours" column) by site for each site selected, without having to hard code the site name, similar to how you would do it in a reporting tool?

Thank you!
