Thanks for response.
 
SUMIF function require the linked workbook to be open, otherwise it will return #VALUE! error.

You can fix by using SUMPRODUCT function instead of SUMIF and could keep the result when the linked workbook is closed, as in :

=SUMPRODUCT(--(criteria_range=criteria), sum_range)

Regards
Bosco

I might confused you. If i apply above rule, the result would show as 0 or "".
Let me clarify my issue.
I got this file from my friend (Someone who create this file). If it is opened in my friend's PC, it is ok (It show the number).
But when i open this file in my PC, it show this kind of error.
Thanks

Thanks for your response and tip.
Actually, the source file is in my friend's PC. He make this formula by linking source file in his PC. So when he view in his PC, it is ok.
But if i open it in my PC, it becomes error like this (I think it might be there is no source file in my PC).
