How to SUM a formula

I have a long formula string and I need to find a sum of data within that string.

Just to give perspective, my data set is:=条件统计(食品网络:delive LaneTitle: LaneTitle。rables in progress:design:design-doing:d blocked") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-doing:design doing") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:production:sme review:sme review") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:production:prod-doing:p blocked") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:production:prod-doing:prod-doing") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:publishing/printing:publishing/printing blocked") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:production:stitching-ready:stitch blocked") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:spn") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:publishing/printing:publishing:stitching-doing") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-ready:dr blocked") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-ready:design ready") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:production:SME Review:SME Blocked") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:Can") + COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:translation blocked")

I need to take this data and figure out:=SUMIFS([Card_Size]:[Card_Size]

How can I do this? Or do I need to SUMIF for every COUNTIF data set?

I've tried several scenarios, but I'm getting 'incorrect argument' and 'unparseable'

Help please?!

    Good evening, I failed to include the @cell with each criteria. Try these:

    =条件统计(LaneTitle: LaneTitle或(netw @cell = "食物ork:deliverables in progress:design:design-doing:d blocked", @cell="food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-doing:design doing", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:production:sme review:sme", @cell="food network:deliverables in progress:production:prod-doing:p blocked", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:production:prod-doing:prod-doing", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:publishing/printing:publishing/printing blocked", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:production:stitching-ready:stitch blocked", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:spn", @cell="food network:deliverables in progress:publishing/printing:publishing:stitching-doing", @cell="food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-ready:dr blocked", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-ready:design ready", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:production:SME Review:SME Blocked", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:Can", @cell="food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:translation blocked"))

    =SUMIFS([Card_Size]:[Card_Size], LaneTitle:LaneTitle, OR( @cell="food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-doing:d blocked", @cell="food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-doing:design doing", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:production:sme review:sme", @cell="food network:deliverables in progress:production:prod-doing:p blocked", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:production:prod-doing:prod-doing", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:publishing/printing:publishing/printing blocked", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:production:stitching-ready:stitch blocked", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:spn", @cell="food network:deliverables in progress:publishing/printing:publishing:stitching-doing", @cell="food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-ready:dr blocked", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-ready:design ready", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:production:SME Review:SME Blocked", @cell= "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:Can", @cell="food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:translation blocked"))

    Hi@Brooke Clem,

    Convert your formula to:

    =COUNTIF(LaneTitle:LaneTitle, OR( "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-doing:d blocked", "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-doing:design doing", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:sme review:sme, "food network:deliverables in progress:production:prod-doing:p blocked", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:prod-doing:prod-doing", "food network:deliverables in progress:publishing/printing:publishing/printing blocked", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:stitching-ready:stitch blocked", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:spn", "food network:deliverables in progress:publishing/printing:publishing:stitching-doing", "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-ready:dr blocked", "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-ready:design ready", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:SME Review:SME Blocked", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:Can", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:translation blocked"))

    =SUMIFS([Card_Size]:[Card_Size], LaneTitle:LaneTitle, OR( "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-doing:d blocked", "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-doing:design doing", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:sme review:sme, "food network:deliverables in progress:production:prod-doing:p blocked", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:prod-doing:prod-doing", "food network:deliverables in progress:publishing/printing:publishing/printing blocked", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:stitching-ready:stitch blocked", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:spn", "food network:deliverables in progress:publishing/printing:publishing:stitching-doing", "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-ready:dr blocked", "food network:deliverables in progress:design:design-ready:design ready", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:SME Review:SME Blocked", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:Can", "food network:deliverables in progress:production:translation:translation blocked"))

    Work?

  • Not yet. I'm getting an #unparseable. But, I might need to just twiddle with it a bit more. I'll try a few things.

I hope you're well and safe!<\/p>

Try something like this.<\/p>

=IF([Date Reported]@row <> \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/76176/\", IF([Resolution Date]@row = \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/76176/\", NETDAYS([Date Reported]@row, TODAY()), NETDAYS([Date Reported]@row, [Resolution Date]@row)))<\/p>

Did that work\/help? <\/p>

I hope that helps!<\/p>

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!<\/p>
