=SUM(IF(A2='[OCR Blue.xls]OCR Contract r20'!$D:$D,'[OCR Blue.xls]OCR Contract r20'!$AA:$AA))

I am tyring to look for the item in A2 and go to another sheet and look for that value in column "D" and then sum the items in the corresponding column"AA:AA". I am getting the error message #NUM. Any help would be appreciated.

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Array formulas can't look at entire columns (AA:AA, D:D), you have to define a finite range.

However, looks like you could use a simple SUMIF (which can work on the whole column)

Thanks! That worked great. I think I was tyring to make that a lot harder than it was.
