You need quotes around the whole thing like &quot;&lt;&gt;DM&quot;, i.e.<br />
<br />
=SUMIFS('Business Objects_Data'!P120:P148,'B<wbr />usiness Objects_Data'!Q120:Q148,&quot;&lt;<wbr />&gt;DM&quot;,'Busi<wbr />ness Objects_Data'!F120:F148,&quot;0<wbr />1&quot;)<br />
<br />

You need quotes around the whole thing like "<>DM", i.e.

=SUMIFS('Business Objects_Data'!P120:P148,'Business Objects_Data'!Q120:Q148,"<>DM",'Business Objects_Data'!F120:F148,"01")

This solution worked perfectly. thank you!<br />
<br />
@barryhoudini I tried putting it all in the same quates and it still came up with an error but once i put &quot;&lt;&gt;&quot;&nbsp;and &quot;DM&quot; in seperate quotes it worked. Thank you for the help.

Are you sure? If I use Netty's suggested solution, e.g. with simplified SUMIF<br />
<br />
=SUMIF(A:A,&quot;&lt;&gt;&quot;DM&quot;&quot;,B:B)<br />
<br />
Then I get an error message, whereas if I use my suggestion<br />
<br />
=SUMIF(A:A,&quot;&lt;&gt;DM&quot;,B:B)<br />
<br />
that works fine<br />
<br />
It's possible to put them both in quotes and concatenate like this<br />
<br />
=SUMIF(A:A,&quot;&lt;&gt;&quot;&amp;&quot;DM&quot;,B:B)<br />
<br />
but that isn't really necessary<br />
