SUMIFS formula returning #INCORRECT ARGUMENT SET: order of Range & Criteria?

Hello,

I cannot figure out why this SUMIFS is not working. When I break up the SUMIF criteria, they both work fine. But when I put them together, I get #INCORRECT ARGUMENT SET error message.

=SUMIFS({MH Client Profiles v2 Range 13}, "East", {MH Client Profiles v2 Range 16}, 1, {MH Client Profiles v2 Range 3})

All I want is to validate that the Region column has "East" and the Terminated column is "checked" and then add up the Revenue column.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi @ewitt19205<\/a> <\/p>

Try removing the space between the quotes. You are counting all cells with 1 space in the cell. Blanks are counted with the quotes together.<\/p>

When counting blanks though, its also good to use a COUNTIFS and compare the blank off another column that always has a value. Like Countifs when the Project name is not blank (<>\"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/43521/\") and the Account Dashboard is blank (\"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/43521/\").<\/p>

I hope that helps.<\/p>

Thanks,<\/p>
