231,198 PointsYour formula shows that you are summing from column "d". Did you mean to write "b" instead? You did get a number total, so I suspect that may be the case.
But even so, you're summing 171 rows (from 8 to 178), which is too many. There are only 113 items in the "F&B" and "Entertainment" categories. Take another look at the rows that contain those categories after sorting, and update the range in the "sum" formula to cover only those.
