Hi there,

Super stuck on how to get the below working, any help/advice about where I am going wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Smartsheet 1 - Data Sheet, where:

Range 1 = Dropdown list column

Range 2 = £ value

Range 7 = Contact Column

Smartsheet 2 - Summary Sheet, where I am building formula (hence the References above)

What I am looking to achieve is to sum the total Range 2 (£ Value), IF the following conditions are met:

  1. Range 1 = "<>" (not blank)
  2. Range 7 = Name or Email

I thought I was right with something along the following but have now tried so many options and I can't get it working I am hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

=SUMIFS({Range 2}, {Range 1}, "<>", [{Range 7}], "HAS(@cell, "Name"), [{Range 7}], "HAS(@cell, "Email"))

Many thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    Try this instead:


    =SUMIFS({Range 2}, {Range 1}, @cell <> "", {Range 7}, OR(HAS(@cell, "Name"), HAS(@cell, "Email")))


    Is your dropdown column a multi-select or single select?

    Thanks for your comment Paul. Unfortunately, that formula also has not worked. It shows #Incorrect Argument Set

    The dropdown is a single select, value-restricted column.

    I have also tried:

    =SUMIFS({Range 2}, {Range 1}, @cell "<>", {2022-23 Events and Conferences List Range 7}, OR(@cell = "Name", @cell = "Email"))

    And

    =SUMIFS({2022-23 Events and Conferences List Range 2}, {2022-23 Events and Conferences List Range 1}, @cell "<>", AND({2022-23 Events and Conferences List Range 7}, OR(HAS(@cell = "Name"), HAS(@cell = "Email"))))

    If it is single select then we shouldn't need the HAS function. That should help clean things up a little bit and give us one less factor to trouble shoot.


    =SUMIFS({Range 2}, {Range 1}, @cell <> "", {Range 7}, OR(@cell = "Name"), @cell = "Email"))

    Thanks Paul.

    I have circumnavigated some of the issues for one of my formula sets (made it less complicated) by swapping the contact list to a new column which =1 if the contact is 'X'.

    This has helped me total the Expected costs for each team member.

    However I am still having the issue with calculating the following SUMIFS:

    Smartsheet #1 - Data Sheet, where:

    The Range is (Range 2) = £ value (to sum)

    Criterion 1 = (Range 1) = "Attended" (single select dropdown list column)

    Criterion 2 = (Range 8) =1 (Where 1 represents the person ('X@) mentioned above)


    I am building this in Smartsheet #2 - Summary Sheet

    I keep getting #Unparseable

    =SUMIFS({Range 2}, {Range 1}, "Attended", {Range 8}, =1)

    Any ideas?

    Are you able to provide a screenshot of the formula actually in the sheet similar to the screenshot below?
