    Hey, i guess you know this one, but it was an epiphany to me.
    I wanted to find a way to use sumif() with multiple arguments. and then i found out (in some forum, i don't remember the link, but i am grateful to the authors) that one can use sumproduct() for the purposes of conditional summing.
    Here's how it works - sumproduct can sum arrays, but it accepts logical conditions in these arrays. Let's say we have a table that has year in column A, age in column B, education is in column C and age is in column D. And we need to find out total bill for 27 year olds in 2007 with secondary education. So the formula looks like this:
    =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A8=2007)*(B2:B8=27)*(C2:C8="secondary")*(D2:D8))
    Cheers,
    Mikii

    mikii,

    You can also use {sum((A2:A8=2007)*(B2:B8=27)*(C2:C8=”secondary”)*(D2:D8))} just be sure to enter it as an array formula. Anybody know if one of these calculates more quickly than the other.

  3. mikii says:

    Thanks, Mattyb, I didn't know that. But still, I prefer sumproduct, because you don't have to enter it as an array formula. It's easier to me and easier to teach others (in case they don't know about array formulas)
