Excel SUMIFS function is used to calculate the sum of values that meet any criteria. For example, you can calculate the total sales in east zone for product Pod Gun using SUMIFS formula.

In this article, you will learn:

  • What is SUMIFS function and how to use it?
  • Syntax for SUMIFS
  • Using SUMIFS() with tables and structural references
  • SUMIFS examples – simple, wild card
  • Using SUMIFS() with date & time values
  • Free sample file for SUMIFS formula
  • More formulas for data analysis

How to write Excel SUMIFS Function?

Using SUMIFS you can find the sum of values in your data that meet multiple conditions.

So, to get the sum of all the Blow Torches sold in North, we just write,

=SUMIFS(D3:D16, B3:B16,"Blow Torch",C3:C16,"North")

Similarly to find the podgun sales in East, just write,

SUMIFS Excel function - Examples

SUMIFS function – Syntax and explanation:

SUMIFS formula takes a range for summing the values and at least one criteria range and criteria. You can specify as many as 127 conditions for summing your data.

SUMIFS Formula - Syntax

Imagine asking “how many spit bombs Hansolo sold in North region of Planet Naboo between long long ago and long ago that resulted in more than 25% profits?” and getting an instant answer.

The beauty of SUMIFS formula is that it works with wildcards too, just like its siblings – SUMIF and COUNTIF. So you can write formulas like,

=SUMIFS(D3:D16,B3:B16,"Spit Bomb",C3:C16,"*th") to get sum of spit bombs sold in North and South.

Using SUMIFS() with tables

You can write SUMIFS function on either a range of data or on a table. When using with tables, you can simply apply structural references – ie TableName[Column Name] notation to specify the criteria columns. See this example:

SUMIFS Function syntax explained

SUMIFS Examples

Let’s say you have a table named ACME as pictured above. See these examples to understand how the function works.

  • Sales for Blow Torch in West
    • =SUMIFS(acme[Sales], acme[Product], "Blow Torch", acme[Region], "West")
  • Total Sales above 150 in East
    • =SUMIFS(acme[Sales], acme[Sales],">150",acme[Region],"East")
  • Sales of North for all excluding Pod Gun
    • =SUMIFS(acme[Sales], acme[Region],"North",acme[Product],"<>Pod Gun")
  • Sales of all products that contain letter B
    • =SUMIFS(acme[Sales], acme[Product], "*B*")

Using SUMIFS() with Date & time values

When you have a column of dates, you can apply special operators like >, <, =, <> to specify a date range.

For example, to count total sales between March 2018 and May 2018, we can use

=SUMIFS(acme[Sales], acme[Sales Date],">=1-Mar-2018", acme[Sales Date], "<=31-May-2018")

You can either type the date in the formula or bring it from a cell. If you have two cells containing start and end date for your window of dates, you can use this formula.

=SUMIFS(acme[Sales], acme[Sales Date],">=" & start_date_cell, acme[Sales Date], "<=" & end_date_cell)

Replace start_date_cell and end_date_cell with actual cell references or names.

Bonus:

Just like SUMIFS, there is COUNTIFS and AVERAGEIFS too in Excel. Once you know SUMIFS(), you can use all these other functions with ease.

  3. Finnur says:

    I've been working with sumif formulas today and have been wondering how I can use 2 criterias or more. I have been reading about Dsum and Daverage. But, of course, this is much easier.

    So thanks!

  4. Ducheznee says:

    Of all the tips you've posted thus far, I can't think of one that will be more beneficial to me in my day-to-day. Wanting to include multiple criteria in my SUMIF formulas has long been a serious point of frustration.

    Question: How will this formula be handled by the conversion tool if someone opens my 2007 file with and earlier version of Excel?

    Thanks for sharing, Chandoo.

  5. bill says:

    I use these formulas a lot. I hope 2010 adds a bunch of additional ones. Don't forget that the criteria can be referenced in from cells outside the formula. This is really helpful for building a summary table. As an example of the versatility of the formula, using Chandoo's table, this formula =SUMIFS($C$2:$C$15,$A$2:$A$15,A2,$C$2:$C$15,F7) give a sum of 509 when the criteria value in A2 is "Pod Gun" and the criteria value in F7 is ">130". Also, wild cards can be used in the criteria formula... setting the "A2" cell reference to "*un" yields the same result.

  6. Chandoo says:

    @Ducheznee: Thank you. When you save a file with SUMIFS and open it in Excel 2003, the cells containing SUMIFS should show #NAME error (as the sumifs formula is not available in those versions). You can use one of the other methods (like SUMPRODUCT http://chandoo.org/wp/2009/11/10/excel-sumproduct-formula/ or SUM array formula http://chandoo.org/wp/2009/07/22/sumif-with-multiple-conditions/ ) to handle such cases.

    @Bill.. thanks 🙂

    @Jan Hogh: Totally agree with you. After using Office 2010 and Win 7, I dont feel like looking at windows xp comps.

    @Cuboo and Finnur: Thanks 🙂

  7. Eric Lind says:

    You know it's funny. When Excel 07 came out, I found I had to stop using SUMIFS because so many people were still using 03, but then you rescued me with SUMPRODUCT Chandoo! =)

  9. Fakhar says:

    What could be reason for not moving to Excel 2007+ as even large multinationals are also stuck with Excel 2003 when nobody has any doubt about their superiority over previous versions. So what might be the reasons behind this reluctance to adopt this much better product over an obsolete and less relevant in todays environment even by large multinationals?

    Hi, Iam preparing a salary bill of an employee for a period form July-2008 to June-2010. In this mean time he got promotion on 18-01-2009. From that day his salary hiked from Rs.10030 to Rs.10565. He got one increment on 18-01-2010. That day onwards his salary again enhanced from Rs. 10565 to Rs.11115. I prepared this bill in excel-2007 worksheet. I wish to split the salary in the months when he got hike in his salay, with excel formulas. But I am unable to do it. Can ypu help me please?

  17. Anish says:

    Hi Chandoo,
    I've been following Chandoo.org for some time now. Great work!
    Slight query regd. this post-
    I've used SUMIF\SUMIFS in the past, but I do have one grouse. The need for putting criteria in double quotes means I can't pull criteria from a cell reference which would make it much more powerful. i.e., instead of criteria ">150" how do i use criteria >$A$1 ? Some help please?
    Thanks, Anish

  18. Chandoo says:

    @Gouse.. you can use SUMIF or SUMIFS to sum all the salary amounts prior to promotion etc.

    @Jawad: Thank you 🙂

    @Anish: you can simply type >150 in A1 and then use that in formula like =sumifs(range, a1). If you cannot do that, you can use B1 to concatenate A1 with the operator you want.

  19. Anish says:

    Hey Chandoo,
    Thanks for that tip, Just tried it and it works! Nice!!
    Thanks again!.

    • Hirendra says:

      Anish, I am sure you did understand the side trick Mr. Chandoo showed you. But, a poor novice with this function like me, could not assimilate his trick. will you please be kind enough to show me in detail, or the actual formula you used? because, I am still fumbling with placing >150 in the formula!! Thanks a lot.

      • Hui... says:

        @Hirendra
        The format of Sumifs if
        =Sumifs(Sum Range, Criteria Range1, Criteria1, Criteria Range2, Criteria2 ...)
        =Sumifs(A1:A10, B1:B10, ">100")
        will sum A1:A10 where B1:B10 is > 100
        or
        =Sumifs(A1:A10, B1:B10, ">"&C1)
        will sum A1:A10 where B1:B10 is > C1

  21. John Franco says:

    Hi Chandoo,

    Excellent review of the new SUMIFS function!

    Regarding the catch you mentioned above...

    If you want to send Excel files to users of previous versions you must convert SUMIFS. To make Excel 2003 users see results instead of an error the user must use SUMPRODUCT or Array formulas.

    This formula: =COUNTIFS('Sales'!$A$4:$A$400,"JAN",'Sales'!$V$4:$V$400,1)
    Turns into this one: =SUMPRODUCT(('Sales'!$A$4:$A$400="JAN")*('Sales'!$V$4:$V$400=1))

  22. Tuttler says:

    I am trying to reuse the same criteria range but different criteria using SUMIFS; however, after establishing the first criteria range and entering the same for the second criteria range the result is zero. Is there a structure to reuse the same criteria range or include more than one criteria with the first criteria range? The data source structure is static but the values always change and I need to compare two data sources by sum.

  23. Chandoo says:

    @Tuttler... Can you give me an example of what you are trying to do. I am unable to visualize your problem.

  24. Tuttler says:

    The basic structure I tried using SUMIFS is: =SUMIFS(C:C,A:A,"Value A",A:A,"Value B",etc...). In order to get the result of using the same set of criteria_range, I used: =SUMIF(SUMIFS(C:C,A:A,"Value A"),SUMIFS(C:C,A:A,"Value B"),etc...)). Other criteria was used within each SUMIFS to further define the specific data set needed. Depending on the number of items required from the criteria_range the formula gets cumbersome.

  25. Ravi says:

    Hi Chandoo - great site! To follow up Tuttle's question, let say I wanted to determine podguns sales in the North AND the South.

    One way to try is maybe sumifs(podguns in the north) + sumifs(podguns in the south) although that might get cumbersome, I wonder if it might make more sense to try a dsum instead? I'm still in awe of / a little afraid of array functions {} but maybe you can use one as well?

  26. Harris says:

    Hi,

    Maybe you can help with a problem.
    I want to use sumifs to calculate sums based on 1 criteria being today's date.
    I am using the =Now() formula to automatically update the date. However, it is not summing. If i replace the =now() with a hardwritten date, it works.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

  27. Hui... says:

    @Harris,
    try using =Today() instead of =Now()
    Today = Date
    Now = Date and Time

  28. Johnson Mathias says:

    Dear Chandoo

    Sumifs work great,
    but there is one short coming, one column one criteria

    I cannot get sum of two different months
    SUMIFS(Value,A19:A151,"April",A19:A151,"May")
    Sumifs gives a "0" when i put a second criteria
    I want to sum the sales of multiple/few months, the months are in Column A
    ie one column multi criteria
    Please Help

  29. Hui... says:

    @Johnson Mathias
    This is a short-coming in your logic not in Sumifs functionality
    .
    A cell in A19:A151 cannot be both April and May which is what you have asked Sumifs to do
    .
    Your query should be like
    =SUMIFS(Value Range,A19:A151,">"&DATE(2011,4,1),A19:A151,"<"&DATE(2011,5,30))
    .
    Give that a go

  30. Uzair says:

    why is that Sumif, sumifs, or sumproduct formulas not automatically update unless the source file is opened.

    They work fine same workbook but when external data source is involved it only work when source file is open.

    Hui,

    I have a similar issue than 27), but I'm trying to have the criteria "Date" as a variable referred to in two separate cells. So I can define date ranges as I need.
    Sumifs gives a “0? when i put a the criteria
    Please help!

  34. Hui... says:

    @Matias H
    You can use something like
    =SUMIFS(B19:B151, A19:A151, ”>”&D1, A19:A151, ”<"&D2)
    Where D1 and D2 are the dates you want

    Thanks so much!!

  36. Cal C says:

    Using Excel 2007 I have changed and now almost exclusively use SUMIFS, its easier, and doing multiple criteria is quicker. I can track Date, Country, Dustributor and on and on easier with SUMIFS, that using SUMPRODUCT.

  37. meadrias says:

    Hi Chandroo (or whoever can help me! 🙂 )

    I need help - am very new to more advanced calculations in excel.
    My problem: I want to use 'sumifs', however the cells I want to add to the "sumrange" are not together (i.e.: c10+c6+c2+d2+e2) and want to include the conditions of sum only when c10 is not 0. I continue to get an error when I put this formula:
    SUMIFS(C10+C6+C2+C2+E2,C10,"0") and off course an error when I put the full formula I want which is something like this: SUMIFS(C10+SUMIFS(C6+C2+D2+E2,C6,"0"),C10,"0")

    Any help will be very much appreciated!

  38. Hui... says:

    Thanks a lot Hui! 🙂

  40. AP says:

    I've reached the limits of my logic & after an hour of fiddling & researching have nothing to show for it.

    How do you select multiple criteria in a criteria range? Column A has sales person name, in some cases I need to sum together more than one sales person.

    When you enter the same range for both Criteria_range1 & 2 the result is 0. I've played with = combinations which works but is incorrect as Excel thinks I'm after a range.

    In effect what I want to do is:

    =SUMIFS(WEBI_LY,WEBI_BDM,"fosters group",WEBI_BDM,"sean crowe-maxwell",WEBI_BRAND,C3,WEBI_BUNDLE,D3)

    Many thanks in advance guys!

  41. Hui... says:

    @AP
    Your trying to do this:
    =SUMIFS(B2:B11,A2:A11,"a",A2:A11,"b")

    What that says is Sum Column B when Column A = "a" and Column A = "b"
    A single record can only be one or the other it can't be both
    .
    You need to use something like:
    =SUMIFS(B2:B11,A2:A11,"a")+SUMIFS(B2:B11,A2:A11,"b")
    .
    In your case
    =SUMIFS(WEBI_LY, WEBI_BDM, ”fosters group”, WEBI_BRAND, C3, WEBI_BUNDLE, D3) + SUMIFS(WEBI_LY, WEBI_BDM, ”sean crowe-maxwell”, WEBI_BRAND, C3, WEBI_BUNDLE, D3)

    • fred says:

      this exercise would be easily solved if Excell had an "or" function as in ”fosters group” or ”sean crowe-maxwell”. But assuming this is not the case, how do you solve this if instead of the above 2 conditions, there were 5, or 6? the function would indeed be long, tedious and prone to errors. In other words, what I'm really looking for (as well as other users I suppose) is a filter to be expressed as a function. Last but not least, very valuable posts.

      • Hui says:

        @Fred
        You can do this in one formula using Sumproduct
        =SUMPRODUCT(((A2:A11,”a”)+(A2:A11,”b”)),B2:B11)
        The + is effectively saying or
        so Where A2:A11 = a or b sum B2:B11

        • Tom says:

          Hi Hui,

          I have a similar issue and wanting to know if you can use SUMIF with Text Columns.

  44. Jackie says:

    Hi All,
    trying to resolve this, i need my criteria 1 to be equal either 4 or 5. The logic is correct, just not returning the results
    SUMIFS(E6:E108,C6:C108,AND(4,5),I6:I108,A122)

    Thanks in advance

  45. Hui... says:

    @Jackie
    I hate to disappoint but the logic is a little bit out
    What you have asked for is that a cell in Range C6:C108 has a value of 4 and 5, which a cell obviously can't have.
    And/Or aren't really suitable for use like this, although at first glance it does seem like they should be.
    .
    I'd recomend the following:
    =SUMIFS(E6:E108,C6:C108,4,,I6:I108,A122) + SUMIFS(E6:E108, C6:C108, 5, I6:I108, A122)

  46. Pete says:

    Hi, Is it possible to have the SUM_RANGE as a cell reference with the cell reference being a VLOOKUP formula result)?
    For example: data downloads from another program each month into sheet 1, with month 1 in (say) col D, month 2 in E etc. so it grows column wise each month. In sheet(2) is a table of 12 months with corresponding column references ( cell a1 has 001.2011 and cell b1 has "D:D" , a2 has 002.2011 and b2 has "E:E". In sheet 3 Z1 is a list ( being a1 to a12 dates. In Z2 is a Vlookup formula which looks up the relevant column reference (ie list choice 002.2011 gives "E:E" in Z2. In cell Z8 is the sumif formula : =SUMIF($A:$A,"wotnots",Z2). This should look at col A for wotnots and choose col E (month2).
    The cell accepts the formula but doesnt give a numerical result. Iam wanting to be able to change sumif parameter using list choice.

  47. Philip says:

    Hi,

    This related to Excel 2007. I have a sheet with multiple columns. Column B has dates (dd-mm-yyyyy) ranging from 1st to 31st of the month depending on the month. Column H has the amounts I want to sum when they are greater than zero. Each date can have multiple rows so the totals row is dynamic but the column rows are generally static.

    I want to sumif on the Column B values (day less than 25th) and Column H, as indicated, for values greater than zero.

    So far, my formula which sits a few rows below the total in Column H is not working:

    =SUMIF(B6:B164;VALUE(LEFT(TEXT(CELL("contents");"TT MMM JJJJ");2))"<25";H6:H164)

    I've stripped it back but the quotes seem to be giving me headaches? Any ideas?

    Kind regards,
    Philip

  48. ravi says:

    does it have to be a sumif? how about a sum with ifs and curly brackets?

    =SUM(IF(TEXT($b$6:$b$64,"dd")*10,$h$6:$h$164))))

    then hit ctrl shift enter for the array curly brackets?

    Ravi

  49. Johnson says:

    Hi Philip

    Regarding post 44) Philip November 21, 2011
    Your table seems to be A6:H164
    Try
    =SUMIFS($H$6:$H$164,$B$6:$B$164,"0")

    Works like a charm

  50. Johnson says:

    part of formula above is getting edited as HTML

    SUMIFS($H$6:$H$164,$B$6:$B$164,"=25-11-2011",$H$6:$H$164,"=0")

    Change the = signs with greater than & less than Signs

  51. Philip says:

    Dear Ravi and Johnson,

    Many thanks for your responses. Uhnfortunately, I've been too busy to try them out but as soon as I do, I'll let you know. @Ravi: I don't see where your formula is checking that the B column value is less than 25? Whether it is a SUMIF is for me secondary. It just has to before the logic I explained. Note that as I explained the 164 value is dynamic (in my fomula I actually use the "row()- 1" instead of 164. I just put the 164 to reduce the number of brackets.
    @Johnston: only the 25 (day) is static, the month and the year change.

  52. abdullah says:

    how i can do sumif function in excel with tow condition in the same criteria, for example: sumifs of any rang with condition 4=< X <=6 .
    thank you.

  53. Johnson says:

    Hey Philip
    I did not realize the day is static 25
    One solution would be to add a Say "J" column called "Day" =day(B1)
    Thus you get a usable day criteria

    SUMIFS($H$6:$H$164,$J$6:$J$164,”=25?,$H$6:$H$164,”=0?)

    Change the = signs with greater than & less than Signs

    I hope this helps

  54. FG says:

    To those wondering how to use an operand with a cell reference (and to the extent it wasn't already posted) you simply concatenate the operand in quotes with the cell reference using an ampersand. So if your condition is less than or equal to the contents of C5, you type:

    "<="&C5

  55. FG says:

    Hui, you seem to recommend summing the result of two SUMIFS with slightly different criteria to satisfy the need for what is essentially an OR() function. Can you use an AND() or an OR() as a condition, or is yoru solution the only way to accomplish that?

  56. FG says:

    My third and final post today: I answered my own question using Hui's comments above. To satisfy an OR condition (such as numbers between two values) you just repeat the range to be evaluated twice, once with a ">=" condition and once with a "<=" condition.

    Also, gotta give the obligatory shoutout...Chandoo's great!

  57. Misty says:

    Is it possible to use a cell reference in the range and sumrange in a sumif? I would like to type the sheet I want to reference in a specific cell and have the sumif formula reference that cell for the sheet information.

  58. FG says:

    Misty, I use sumifs whose source data is on a different sheet all the time, I've also done it across workbooks. I'm not sure what you're using the spare cell for as a reference though. Can you give an example of what you're doing? I don't want to give an overly wordy and unhelpful reply.

    Hi Chandoo!
    I have a problem....I have an Excel 2007 Sheet with Name of Dealers in Rows and Month wis Sales in Columns (Apr.10, Apr.11, May.10,May.11....Mar.11,Mar.12). I have a Dashboard Sheet where the user enters the starting month & ending month for e.g. Apr.11 TO Sep.11.
    I want to calculate the No of Dealers having registered some sales in the period i.e. Apr.11+May.11+.....Sep.11 should not be Zero. This needs to be calculated dynamically depending on the value entered in the Dashboard Month Field.

  60. Rick says:

    Hi Chandoo
    Great explanation of SUMIFS. But for summing up the values where data are spanning across multiple columns (e.g., data in 23 columns D:Z), is there a simple way? One could always write the SUMIFS statements for each column, using multiple criteria (e.g., criteria in 3 columns A:C), and then combine the results through simple addition, but this is not very elegant and in this case would require addition of 23 terms rather than one.
    For example, this sums one column (and could be repeated, tediously):
    =SUMIFS(D2:D10,A2:A10,A1,B2:B10,B1,C2:C10,C1)
    but this returns and error, rather than summing 23 columns:
    =SUMIFS(D2:Z10,A2:A10,A1,B2:B10,B1,C2:C10,C1)

    Thanks for your input and help.

  61. Rick says:

    Sorry, but I had mistyped my email address a minute ago (linked to my question on using SUMIFS across multiple columns). This time it is correct.

  62. Alec Berg says:

    Wow, great time saver. Thank you. I used it for the wildcard with the sumif.

    Is there any way to get SUMIFS to do either/or criteria?
     
    I was only able to get it to work with an array constant:
     
          =SUM(SUMIFS(sum_range,criteria_range1,criteria1,criteria_range2,{"A","B","C"}))
     
     
    However, arrays constants can’t use references like F1,F2,F3.
     
     
     
    Is the ONLY alternative to use SUMPRODUCT (much slower) or to use multiple SUMIFS (very long formula and high maintence).

    works just great, but  I need to add an ampersand & to it to concatenate:

     =SUMIFS($D$2:$D$15,$B$2:$B$15,"bli",$C$2:$C$15,">"&50)

    Without the ampersand does not work at all with = or > or >=, just with a number. No matter if I put that in single or double or without marks. But with & works nicely. Sure I will use the sumifs quite some times.

  69. Richard Galicia says:

    I do stuffs like this in MS Excel 2003 by using the sumif  + concatenate function. Where concatenate resides in new column. =sumif($A$14:$A$27,"Pod GunEast",$C$14:$C$27) where Column A is concatenation (&) of Column B and C.

    =SUMIFS(Value to Sum,criteria range,A1)

    Would b thankful

  77. Ella says:

    What if you want one of the criterias to pull from whatever is in a particular cell to the left?
    Right now my last criteria is unique customer names that I have to type, but I would rather the last criteria be a cell reference so that I can just drag the formula down.

  78. FG says:

    Hey Ella, see my posts above for using cell references and creating or conditions.  I pasted one of them below:
    "To those wondering how to use an operand with a cell reference (and to the extent it wasn’t already posted) you simply concatenate the operand in quotes with the cell reference using an ampersand. So if your condition is less than or equal to the contents of C5, you type:
    “<="&C5 "

  79. we can also use sumproduct same a sumifs right????

    Question for you Chandoo, and maybe it is already addressed somewhere in the dialogue above. 
    Can the "SUMIFS()" formula fully replace the ARRAY formula that looks up criteria in multidimensional ranges? For example, I have the table below, I would like to search by Dept, Employee, Type, and then horizontal for a specific month. I cannot get the horizontal sum-if function to work.
     
    The following formulas return #VALUE!, but of course works when I change the sumrange to equal a specific month column.
    =SUMIFS($D$2:$F$5,$A$2:$A$5,"Sales",$B$2:$B$5,"Mary",$C$2:$C$5,"Contract",$D$1:$F$1,"MAR")

    I just started to learning sumifs which is a great tool to use. I have a problem here and I need help.

    My data consists of salary and benefits details for professional staff, support staff, NBD staff & Management staff for both Singapore & Australia. I need to split total cost between:

    1. professional staff / Singapore - I got the answer for this since there's only 1 criteria
    2. Support/NDB/Mgmt staff / Singapore - i got a nil answer when I did this....
    SUMIFS('Cost report I'!AH3:AH43,'Cost report I'!C3:C43,'Cost summary'!A4,'Cost report I'!D3:D43,"Supp", 'Cost report I'!D2:D42, "NBD")

  93. Lyman says:

    I have been using the SUMIFS formula to build a payroll Sheet for our office, however I track the hours in one sheet along with the days of the week and the specific job numbers, I then have another sheet that has all of the relevant employee information such as employee number and craft code, finally, I merge all of these onto a landing page where I am using combination VLOOKUP Formulas to auto-fill the needed information and then use dates and the top of the sheet in order to tell which week I am getting the information for. Now the SUMIFS are used in the hours columns to total all of the hours that the employee worked on the above date, and the specific job #, however as new employees come on and I add them to the list, it is no longer in alphabetical order, so when I use the filter buttons that are atop my sheet, It re sorts alphabetically but the formulas mess up and start referencing their old location even when they are unlocked or locked?

  106. Chris McG says:

    In Lotus 1-2-3, you can enter criteria into database functions and avoid the primitive criteria range that Excel still requires (last used in Lotus 3.0). I cannot fathom why Microsoft Excel developers haven't changed the database functions so that they have this capability. I wonder if there is a way to communicate with them and express displeasure about the need for criteria ranges.

    This works great as long as the data never changes. But can anyone tell me how to capture the data and it accumulate as it changes? Example: I have data in column b2:b7 that changes based on data in column a2:a:7 that changes. I want to capture the data in column b and and sum it in cell c2 and d2 based on the conditions of a2:a7, and never lose the values. They should just accumulate.

  133. Kylie says:

    I am using excel 2010 and can't seem to get the array formula to work with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
    This is my data:
    A B
    1 37 3
    2 350 4
    3 350 4

    This is my formula:
    =SUMIF(C6:C8,">1",{B6:B8*C6:C8})

    The result I want. The sum of column B, (A * B) where B is greater than one.

    Thanks in advance

    Subtotal with atl+shift+L is better option for easy calculation.

  146. This is a great article. You are sharing valuable MS excel tips. As an accounting professional, I used SUMIFs formula for reports preparation. It is a good practice to use the Name manager function and SUMIFs together because it makes it much easier to remember.

    Hi All,
    I have a unique problem with sumifs . I have 5 conditions/parameters for sumifs , out of which 3 conditions might have 1 / multiple selections (values coming from user selected multi list box and falling in different cells ) .ALL Conditions are Character variable .

    In this case i have sum up spends value using sumifs for all possible combinations user will select from the drop down menu and i have to keep the parametrs automated (cell referenced - as they are user defined ) and i cannot hardcode them using {} .

    How can i do it using SUMIFS .
