I have several expense categories in a dropdown list. I am looking for a formula to calculate totals when a given category is selected. I need it search the column and total all of the amounts listed as "other", "airfare", etc...
thanks,
SGF
Try something along the lines of
=SUMIFS(Amount:Amount, [Expense Category]:[Expense Category], Description@row)
Hi Steve,
Try something like this.
Put the formula in a new column or one that isn't included below.
=SUMIF([Expense Category]:[Expense Category]; Description@row; Amount:Amount)
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=SUMIF([Expense Category]:[Expense Category], Description@row, Amount:Amount)
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did it work?
Have a fantastic week!

Steve:
Please note... Andree is correct that the formula would need to go into a cell that is not being referenced within itself.
A second note: You will see that Andree's formula is laid out differently that mine. They will both work the same way. The difference is that Andree used a SUMIF, and I used a SUMIFS.
Whichever you decide to try is entirely up to you, but it is important to be mindful of the changes in syntax when you add on that S vs going without. My formula with the S removed wouldn't work, and Andree's formula with the S added would also fail.
works perfectly!
Thanks!
Excellent!
Happy to help!

I have a status column with a dropdown menu with the options “Not started,” “In process,” and “Completed.” I want to have a formula that auto-populates the parent task with the status based on the children tasks. Here is the logic that I want the formula to use: If…
I have a parent row that I'm using to sum all child row values where Children = 0 and Status = "Not Started". This is my formula. =IF(OR(ISBLANK(Status@row ), Hierarchy@row = 0), "", IF(Hierarchy@row = 1, SUM(CHILDREN()), IF(AND(Children@row = 0, Status@row = "Not Started"), 1, 0))) However, if any of my task rows are…
Hi, I am trying to get a column that provides the Date (easy with Record a Date) but I need the TIME as well. Most of my tables I just use the right function on the Modified Date because the only thing updating those tables are automations or data imports. But a few tables have automations, data imports, and manual inputs.…
