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.
