I used this formula to set the range, the criteria and then the sum range but it is returning zero. The range is a different column than the sum range. Any advice?
=SUMIF({SSS Range 3}, >"12/31/2017", {SSS Range 3})
Hi Tom,
Even though you've stated the range and sum range are in different columns, it looks like your formula is set to query and sum the same {SSS Range 3} range (which ain't gonna work). Are they definitely different columns/cells?
yes I tried many times and it still has the same range reference in the formula although the linked arrow(s) in the source sheet are different plus if I click to edit the formula it shows a grey box around the correct data. It could be that I can use 2 different columns?
OK, I think I understand what's happening here. I've experienced some oddities with the cross-sheet references refusing to let go of previously specified ranges.
To fix:
Your formula should be
=SUMIF({The range you want to sum}, "the criteria you want to test", {the range you want to test the criteria against})
I'd also suggest avoiding the >"12/31/2017" criteria (can be unpredictable) and possibly look to validate the current year against the against the query range?
Hello, I have a workflow where, when a team member checks a checkbox, Smartsheet automatically sends an email to themselves containing merge fields that are used as a customer email draft. The challenge is that this activity typically happens on a deadline day, and a team member may need to generate 30 or more of these…
Hi all, reaching out to see if of you have ideas; I'm hoping this makes sense: I'm having some trouble getting my formulas to pull data in correctly. I currently have a sheet (primary data) where I have data in rows where each row is a single project, with columns identifying persons, $ values, unique project identifier,…
I have #'s that pull from each project into each sheet's - sheet summary. Those then get pulled into a sheet summary report. They are currently grouped by what channel they are in. Each column gives a total sum. I was asked to see if we can combine the total sum into one number, so it shows how many total SKU's are being…
