    Re: getting error on simple counting formula

    Four of the XR CNT for welder P-5 have an error message.
    remove all filters, and then filter column S to show only the "#Value" entries, and you will see the issue.
    Solving those lines is the core issue.

    On tab "welders data", cells S3441:S3444 (relating to "P-5") result in a "Value" error >> Sumif value error.

    Re: getting error on simple counting formula

    Your formula:
    =SUMIF('WELD DATA'!L:L,"P-5",'WELD DATA'!S:S)

    You are trying to sum a column that only has P-5 in it and WELD DATA'!L:L,"P-5" results in an error

    The other formulas work because they do not include "P-5"

    Re: getting error on simple counting formula

    you have errors in cells S3441:S3444

    Also, if you change the formula to
    =SUMIF('WELD DATA'!L:L,$B5,'WELD DATA'!S:S)
    you can just copy it down without needing to change the reference each time
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: getting error on simple counting formula

    @ K m, i dont think that is the problem, the OP has filters set on that upload to only show P-5. if you remove all the filters, there are other values in that column, bit column S has #value errors in it

    Your cells 3441 to 3444 in row R of tab WELD DATA are not empty.
