Sum Formulas

CatherineMadden Your IF formulas return texts rather than numbers. That's why SUM returns zero. Remove all the quotation marks surrounding the ones and zeroes and the SUM function will work.
Having said that, I would recommend you to do away with those nested IF formulas all-together. The attached file contains an alternative method to achieve your goal.
Here is a copy of the workbook I am trying to work on. Maybe you can do something easier. I simply want to know how many times someone used a Flex or Alter based on if there is a date listed for each person.
