Collecting data for a week
I am attempting to use the SUMIFS formula to determine the number of employees trained in a month by week. I am also filtering by department and shift so there is a lot of factors. I tried to utilize the lesson on identifying days but not sure about what I have. This is what I tried, but it is not working:
The "Number Trained" column is what I want to have a total for pending the Shift, Department, Month and Week.
Any direction would be helpful.

Your structure looks good! However it looks like your last condition is what may be causing the problem.
I see you have {Training Date} selected for the MONTH, which is good if that's a Date column. However you're searching for the text string "day: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7". This means that a cell would need to have that string in it (versus a date).
If you're looking for the first 7 days of that month, I would actually suggest looking between a specific date range instead:
{Training Date}, >= DATE(2022, 01, 01), {Training Date}, <= DATE(2022, 01, 07)
To make this even easier, you could have two date columns in this sheet with the formula... one with the Start Date and one with the End Date of that week/month.
{Training Date}, >= [Start Date]@row, {Training Date}, <= [End Date]@row
This way you can make it a Column Formula and you won't have to adjust it every time there's a new date range.
Full formula example:
=SUMIFS({Number Trained}, {Shift}, "Shift 2", {Training Department}, Department@row, {Training Date}, >= [Start Date]@row, {Training Date}, <= [End Date]@row)
Let me know if this works for you!
