SUMIFS Function with Multiple Column Sum Range

Jim Hook ✭✭✭✭✭✭

08/07/15 edited 12/09/19 inArchived 2015 Posts

I want to sum values over a two column range using multiple criteria but when I include more than one column in the sum range I get a #MISSING OR INVALID PARAMETERS error message. When I back off the sum range to a single column it works fine. Is the sum range in the SUMIFS function restricted to a single column?

I just heard back from Smartsheet support that the SUMIFS function only sums within a single column. There is a way to do it by putting two SUMIFSs in a single formula, one that sums the desired range in each column. I ended up finding a better way to organize the data and a single SUMIFS works great.

Thank you for posting this discussion Jim, I was trying to do something similar today and this information was helpful.

If you want to know the percentage over\/under the Contract Amount<\/strong>, your formula (placed the [Percentage] column) would be:<\/p>
=([Contract amount]@row - [Install Labor (actual)]@row) \/ [Contract amount]@row<\/p>
Be sure the \"Percentage\" column is formatted as a percentage. Positive numbers show that your total spend is under<\/strong> the [Contract amount]. Negative values show your total spend is over<\/strong>.<\/p>
You can use a similar formula to measure how far over\/under your [Labor $ (quoted)] amount is from your [Install Labor (actual)] amount.<\/p>
=([Labor $ (quoted)]@row - [Install Labor (actual)]@row) \/ [Labor $ (quoted)]@row<\/p>
Here, though, a negative value shows that you are OVER<\/strong> the estimate. A positive value shows you are at or UNDER<\/strong> the estimate.<\/p>

If the two percent columns are formatted as percent columns (see screenshot), then the % Not Complete column would have this formula: <\/p>
