Through that stackblitz, you will see an observed issue with sumifs calc in a flexgrid. The expected result should be 2 in each of the 3 similar formulas, but the second column is not calculating as expected. A copy of this formula example in Excel works as expected.
Could you provide me with some insight?

Good day to you,
Any chance we can receive an ETA on this fix? It is affecting our customers and our ability to provide them with an estimate time for a fix.
Thank you.

Hey there,
Wanted to bump this and see if we have an update. I haven’t checked for any new releases of Wijmo but hoped we have resolved this calc issue or get an ETA. This is affecting our product and the work around has been a custom function that does what a SUMIF should do natively.

Is there an update on this issue?
Our project has found numerics in strings in general seem to break all calcs we’ve tested. And of note, if you manually type a number in the second string field, the field parses the input as a numeric and does calc. So there is an inconsistency in the cell type, where a field we would want to remain string (say a department number entered as 12345) is being converted to 12,345.

The SumIfs issue we opened this thread on especially needs to be addressed though; we have customers and management pressing for an update.

Hi,
The dev team is considering this issue to be fixed soon and it will be reflected in our next builds. Until then you can use the following workaround to avoid this issue, if it fits your requirements - you can create a custom function to update the cell values by converting them to ‘Number’ dataType from ‘String’ datatype. Please refer to the following updated sample for the same - https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-8paq2o?file=src/app/app.component.ts
Also, to keep the values in string format, you can manually set the dataType for the column to string. Please refer to the following code snippet -
flex.columns[0].dataType = 'String'; In case, you face any issues, please let us know.

Is that hotfix going to be a part of the 5.20231.879 release once it passes RC checks?

Hi,
The current RC build, i.e. 5.20231.879-rc will be merged with Wijmo’s 5.2023v1 build, which will be released in the next few weeks, but due to certain circumstances, your fix will not be added to this build. It will be added in the 5.2023v1-hotFix release, which will be released after the 5.2023v1 build.

Hi, for Column B, if i try to create a SUM formula, ‘=SUM(B1:B5)’ , it doesnt work. Even if i get rid of the space in the in the number string, it doesnt work. The SUMIfs works but not the regular SUM function. Let me know if you have questions.

Hi Richard,
The dev team has confirmed that this behavior is by design and will not be changed in the near future. However, you can use the following workaround to avoid this issue - you can create a custom function to update the cell values by converting them to ‘Number’ dataType from ‘String’ datatype.
Please refer to the following sample for a demonstration - https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-8paq2o?file=src/app/app.component.ts
