I know how sumif works when I need to access it within the same Google "workbook" (using the analogy from excel). By workbook I mean a collection of sheets, not sure whether there is a different way to refer to Google workbook.
For example in the sheet (Example 3): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Dm-N-1X38zHartE3JbPUtWDnYwEpkGHl6v06huvjSa8/edit#gid=0
I have Sheet2, with column A contain strings and column B containing numerical value. On sheet 1, I have a sumif function which can be query data stored in Sheet2, and sum the cells which match A1 in Sheet1.
The problem starts happening when I try to refer to ranges in a completely different workbook, which is shown below.
I am trying to do a sumif over 2 ranges from a different "workbook". The data is stored here (Example 2): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P5Inf09fLSRmsGbG7LwlE4V-r7DzqY0SB5tJuMKMZH0/edit#gid=0
The Sumif function is in Cell B1 of the following sheet (Example 1):https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AitilELd6w7Dbv9d-mKhBYGTBaO6DdkU29Y5mofX2TI/edit#gid=0.
From my understanding importrange is typically used to refer to ranges in completely different workbooks, as a result I use importrange as the first and last arguments in the sumif function in the Sheet Example 1.
What am I doing wrong? Why is this not working?
Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot
