column in table 4. Reference the appropriate field in table 2 as your
range and the "Difficulty" rating in table 4 as your criteria..
Answer: =COUNTIF($D$40:$D$46,G46)
◉ Use the SUMIF function to complete the "Cost Touch-ups" column
in table 4. Reference the appropriate field in table 2 as your range
and the "Difficulty" rating in table 4 as your criteria..
Answer: =SUMIF($D$40:$D$46,G46,$E$40:$E$46)
◉ Use the AVERAGEIF function to complete the "Average Hours/Job"
