Excel formula help

Trying to create a formula that will sum a dollar amount from another worksheet in the same workbook while filtering two types of criteria.

 

=SUM(Table1[MRR]) /COUNTIFS(Table1[Status], "red", Table1[Primary CSEP Identification],"<>Contract Renewal - within 3 months")

 

The sum is supposed to be the total, the status identified as red and excluding Primary CSEP identification of contract renewal. What am I missing?

    Then I assume you have not actually provided the 5 parameters as suggested.

    Check carefully that you have conformed to the syntax

    =SUMIFS(

    Table1[MRR]),  {the range to be conditionally summed}

    Table1[Status],   {the first criterion range}

    "red",   {the value you required for the first criterion}

    Table1[Primary CSEP Identification],  {the second criterion range}

    "<>Contract Renewal - within 3 months")   {the value you required for the second criterion}

    with commas separating the arguments.

    You have not applied any filtering to the summation which I assume to be the point of the exercise.

     

    =SUMIFS(Table1[MRR]), Table1[Status], "red", Table1[Primary CSEP Identification],"<>Contract Renewal - within 3 months")

      Thank you for your reply and help. I tried this formula during this process and again with your comment, however I recieve an error back stating "You've entered too few arguments for this function".
