    Sure. When trying to use SUMIF with more than one range/criterion, you need to change it to SUMIFS. The syntax is slightly different than SUMIF as well, in that you list the range you want to sum first, followed by criteria ranges/criteria.

    SUMIFS(range you want to sum, criterion_range1, criterion1, [ criterion_range2​, criterion2​... ])

    So for your formula:

    =SUMIFS([Project Value]:[Project Value], [Task Completion]:[Task Completion], YEAR(@cell) = 2022, [Job Type]:[Job Type], "Service Call")
