    Alternative proposed solution

    SUMIFS function

    =SUMIF(C4:C12,"Overdue")

     

    COUNTIFS applies criteria to cells across multiple ranges and counts the number of times all criteria are met. SUMIFS adds the cells in a range that meet multiple criteria.

     

     

    Thank you for your patience and time.
