How-to Guide

1. Create a formula field and call SUMIF

Entry path: Add Field → Formula → Formula Editor

  1. Open the multidimensional table that you want to edit.
  2. Click Add Field.
  3. Select Formula as the field type.
  4. Enter a formula that includes SUMIF in the formula editor.
  5. Click Confirm and check whether the result appears in the new field.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: A new formula field appears in the table and shows a calculated result.
  • What you can do next: You can continue editing the formula or adjust the field position.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If you do not choose the Formula field type first, you may not be able to enter a function formula.
  • Environment note: You need edit permission for the current table.

2. View and set the SUMIF parameter format

Entry path: Formula Editor → Function Library → SUMIF

  1. Open the formula editor in an existing formula field.
  2. Open the function library and select SUMIF.
  3. Review the parameter structure shown in the editor.
  4. Fill in the target range and condition parameters.
  5. If needed, continue by filling in the sum range parameter.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The full SUMIF structure is visible in the formula editor.
  • What you can do next: You can save the formula and return to the table to review the result.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If the parameter order is incorrect, the result may return an error or not match expectations.
  • Environment note: The data type in the referenced range should match the calculation goal.

3. Write and verify a SUMIF example

Entry path: Formula Field → Formula Editor

  1. Enter a sample SUMIF formula in the formula field.
  2. Check whether the target range is correct.
  3. Check whether the condition expression matches the current table data.
  4. Save the formula and confirm that the result appears automatically.
  5. Modify the source data and confirm that the result refreshes with the change.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The result appears immediately after the formula is saved.
  • What you can do next: After you modify records, the result updates accordingly.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: Referencing mismatched fields may return an empty result or an error.
  • Environment note: If field values are inconsistent, standardize them before calculating.
