Calculate key project metrics with sheet summary formulas
Automatically calculate budget summaries, aggregate project status and project health, and more by placing formulas in sheet summary fields.
Create a sheet summary formula
In your sheet summary: Type the equals sign (=) and the desired function in a sheet summary field. (Note that you can’t enter formulas in checkbox fields.)
- Use the table below for examples on referencing other sheet summary fields in your sheet summary formulas.

Sheet summary formula references
Use this table as a guide for referencing other fields as you build sheet summary formulas.
| When you reference | Use this syntax | Example formula |
|---|---|---|
| Other summary fields (same sheet) | [Field name]# | =SUM([Budget 2016]#, [Budget 2017]#) |
| Cells in the sheet | [Column name]<row number> | =SUM(Expenses1:Expenses3) |
| Cells from another sheet | {cross-sheet reference name} | =COUNT({Warehouse B Inventory}) |
Sheet summary field references ([Field Name]#) for formulas can be used both within Sheet Summary Fields and Sheet Cells. For more information, see Formula basics.
