I am having trouble finding the total expenses using SUMIF on the quiz. In the Google Spreadsheet.

This is the formula I enter in the Google spreadsheet document: =SUMIF(A3:A176,"F&B",B3:B176). The total shows up as zero which is clearly not right. What am I doing wrong?

The "A" column has the item names, but the column you want to test on is the categories ("C").

=SUMIF(C3:C176,"F&B",B3:B176)
