Formula that needs to reference multiple columns

Good evening,

We are looking of how we would structure a formula to calculate the % of our production job each series is responsible for.

  • There are 6 series (sequences) in this job. 1 thru 6. In the "Series ID" column. There are 300 rows +/- that make up the 6 series
  • The 6 series make up 100% of the job as calculated in the "% of Total Production Time" column
  • what formula would I use to calculate what % of the job Series 1, 2, 3 is etc ?

    You would use a SUMIFS() formula along the lines of...

    =SUMIFS([% of Total Production Time]:[% of Total Production Time], [Series ID]:[Series ID],#)

    Just put the number 1 - 6 in place of the # to get a total of all percentages for that particular series.

    Thank you , I see that this will work, my issue is going to be that I am keeping all of my metrics at the top of the sheet so my data rows do n ot start until Row 85 (parent row) and Row 86 is where the children rows start

    Is there a way to start the tabulation from row 85 and include all the children rows as they get added ?

    Thanks

    Good afternoon

    So I am trying to make it count rows 89 to 100 but something is wrong with my formula

    Anyone have any insight?

    Thank you

    =SUMIFS([% of Total Production Time]89):[% of Total Production Time]1000), [Series ID]:[Series ID], 1)

    Hi,

    Your formula is referencing 89-1000 so change it to 100 and should be good to go.

    Did it work?

    Have a fantastic week!

    Yes. Simply replace the Column:Column range with a CHILDREN() range.

    =SUMIFS(CHILDREN([% of Total Production Time]85), CHILDREN([Series ID]85),#)

    The additional closed parenthesis after each cell reference will cause an error as well.

    HMMM, So sorry guys,

    It is showing me a zero, per below snap shot

    I am stumped

    =SUMIFS(CHILDREN([% of Total Production Time]89), CHILDREN([Series ID]89), 1)

    The [% of Total Production Time] column... Is that numbers in the column and then the column formatted as a percentage or is the % being added manually?

Hi @Stephanie D<\/a> <\/p>

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

Try something like this.<\/p>

=COUNTIF(Status:Status, \"Green\")<\/p>

=COUNTIF([% Complete]:[% Complete], \"Half\")<\/p>

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

I hope that helps!<\/p>

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