How to use Excel SUMIFS and SUMIF with multiple criteria

This tutorial explains the difference between the SUMIF and SUMIFS functions in terms of their syntax and usage, and provides a number of formula examples to sum values with multiple AND / OR criteria in Excel 365, 2021, 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, and lower.

As everyone knows, Microsoft Excel provides an array of functions to perform various calculations with data. A few articles ago, we explored COUNTIF and COUNTIFS, which are designed for counting cells based on a single condition and several conditions, respectively. Last week we covered Excel SUMIF that adds values meeting the specified criteria. Now it's time to go over the plural version of SUMIF - Excel SUMIFS that allows summing values by multiple criteria.

Those who are familiar with the SUMIF function might think that converting it to SUMIFS takes just an extra "S" and a few additional criteria. This would seem quite logical… but "logical" it's not always the case when dealing with Microsoft : )

Excel SUMIF function - syntax & usage

The SUMIF function is used to conditionally sum values based on a single criteria. We discussed the SUMIF syntax in detail in the previous article, and here's just a quick refresher.

SUMIF(range, criteria, [sum_range])
  • range - the range of cells to be evaluated by your criteria, required.
  • criteria - the condition that must be met, required.
  • sum_range - the cells to sum if the condition is met, optional.

As you see, the syntax of the Excel SUMIF function allows for one condition only. And still, we say that Excel SUMIF can be used to sum values with multiple criteria. How can that be? By adding the results of several SUMIF functions and by using SUMIF formulas with array criteria, as demonstrated in the examples that follow.

Excel SUMIFS function - syntax & usage

You use SUMIFS in Excel to find a conditional sum of values based on multiple criteria. The SUMIFS function was introduced in Excel 2007 and is available in all subsequent versions of Excel 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, and Excel 365.

Compared to SUMIF, the SUMIFS syntax is a little bit more complex:

SUMIFS(sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2], …)

The first 3 arguments are mandatory, additional ranges and their associated criteria are optional.

  • sum_range - one or more cells to sum, required. This can be a single cell, a range of cells or a named range. Only cells with numbers are summed; blank and text values are ignored.
  • criteria_range1 - the first range to be evaluated by the associated criteria, required.
  • criteria1 - the first condition that must be met, required. You can supply the criteria in the form of a number, logical expression, cell reference, text or another Excel function. For example you can use criteria such as 10, ">=10", A1, "cherries" or TODAY().
  • criteria_range2, criteria2, … - these are additional ranges and criteria associated with them, optional. You can use up to 127 range/criteria pairs in SUMIFS formulas.

Notes:

  • For a SUMIFS formula to work correctly, all the criteria_range arguments must have the same dimension as sum_range, i.e. the same number of rows and columns.
  • The SUMIFS function works with AND logic, meaning that a cell in the sum range is summed only if it meets all of the specified criteria, i.e. all the criteria are true for that cell.

Basic SUMIFS formula

And now, let's have a look at the Excel SUMIFS formula with two conditions. Suppose, you have a table listing the consignments of fruit from different suppliers. You have the fruit names in column A, suppliers' names in column B, and quantity in column C. What you want is to find out a sum of amounts relating to a given fruit and supplier, e.g. all apples supplied by Pete.
Data to be summed with two conditions

When you're learning something new, it's always a good idea to start with simple things. So, to begin with, let's define all the arguments for our SUMIFS formula:

  • sum_range - C2:C9
  • criteria_range1 - A2:A9
  • criteria1 - "apples"
  • criteria_range2 - B2:B9
  • criteria2 - "Pete"

Now assemble the above parameters, and you will get the following SUMIFS formula:

=SUMIFS(C2:C9, A2:A9, "apples", B2:B9, "Pete")
An example of the Excel SUMIFS formula with two conditions

To refine the formula further, you can replace the text criteria "apples" and "Pete" with cell references. In this case, you won't have to change the formula to calculate the quantity of other fruit from a different supplier:

=SUMIFS(C2:C9, A2:A9, F1, B2:B9, F2)

Note. Both the SUMIF and SUMIFS functions are case-insensitive by nature. To get them to recognize the text case, please see Case-sensitive SUMIF and SUMIFS formula in Excel.

SUMIF vs. SUMIFS in Excel

Since the aim of this tutorial is to cover all possible ways to sum values by several conditions, we will discuss formula examples with both functions - Excel SUMIFS and SUMIF with multiple criteria. To use them correctly, you need to clearly understand what these two functions have in common and in what way they are different.

While the common part is clear (similar purpose and parameters), the differences are not so obvious, though very essential.

There are 4 major differences between SUMIF and SUMIFS:

  1. Number of conditions. SUMIF can evaluate just one condition at a time while SUMIFS can check for multiple criteria.
  2. Syntax. With SUMIF, the sum_range is the last and optional argument - if not defined, the values in the range argument are summed. With SUMIFS, sum_range is the first and required argument.
  3. Size of ranges. In SUMIF formulas, sum_range does not necessarily have to be of the same size and shape as range, as long as you have the top left cell right. In Excel SUMIFS, each criteria_range must contain the same number of rows and columns as the sum_range argument.

    For example, SUMIF(A2:A9,F1,C2:C18) will return the correct result because the leftmost cell in the sum_range argument (C2) is right. So, Excel will make the correction automatically and include as many columns and rows in sum_range as there are in range.

    A SUMIFS formula with unequally sized ranges will return a #VALUE! error.

  4. Availability. SUMIF is available in all Excel versions, from 365 through 2000. SUMIFS is available in Excel 2007 and higher.

Alright, enough strategy (i.e. theory), let's get into the tactics (i.e. formula examples : )

How to use SUMIFS in Excel - formula examples

A moment ago, we discussed a simple SUMIFS formula with two text criteria. In the same manner, you can use Excel SUMIFS with multiple criteria expressed by numbers, dates, logical expressions, and other Excel functions.

Example 1. Excel SUMIFS with comparison operators

In our fruit suppliers table, suppose, you want to sum all deliveries by Mike with Qty. 200 or more. To do this, you use the comparison operator "greater than or equal to" (>=) in criteria2 and get the following SUMIFS formula:

=SUMIFS(C2:C9,B2:B9,"Mike",C2:C9,">=200")
Excel SUMIFS formula with comparison operators

Note. Please pay attention that in Excel SUMIFS formulas, logical expressions with comparison operators should always be enclosed in double quotes ("").

We covered all possible comparison operators in detail when discussing Excel SUMIF function, the same operators can be used in SUMIFS criteria. For example, the following formula with return the sum of all values in cells C2:C9 that are greater than or equal to 200 and less than or equal to 300.

=SUMIFS(C2:C9, C2:C9,">=200", C2:C9,"<=300")

Example 2. Using Excel SUMIFS with dates

In case you want to sum values with multiple criteria based on the current date, use the TODAY() function in your SUMIFS criteria, as demonstrated below. The following formula sums values in column D if a corresponding date in column C falls within the last 7 days, including today:

=SUMIFS(D2:D10, C2:C10,">="&TODAY()-7, C2:C10,"<="&TODAY())
Excel SUMIFS formula for dates

Note. When you use another Excel function together with a logical operator in the criteria, you have to use the ampersand (&) to concatenate a string, for example "<="&TODAY().

In a similar fashion, you can use the Excel SUMIF function to sum values in a given date range. For example, the following SUMIFS formula adds the values in cells C2:C9 if a date in column B falls between 1-Oct-2014 and 31-Oct-2014, inclusive.

=SUMIFS(C2:C9, B2:B9, ">=10/1/2014", B2:B9, "<=10/31/2014")

The same result can be achieved by calculating the difference of two SUMIF functions, as demonstrated in this example - How to use SUMIF to sum values in a given date range. However, Excel SUMIFS is much easier and more understandable, isn't it?

Example 3. Excel SUMIFS with blank and non-blank cells

When analyzing reports and other data, you may often need to sum values corresponding either to empty or non-empty cells.

Criteria Description Formula Example
Blank cells "=" Sum values corresponding to blank cells that contain absolutely nothing - no formula, no zero length string. =SUMIFS(C2:C10, A2:A10, "=", B2:B10, "=")

Sum values in cells C2:C10 if the corresponding cells in columns A and B are absolutely empty.

"" Sum values corresponding to "visually" blank cells including those that contain empty strings returned by some other Excel function (for example, cells with a formula like =""). =SUMIFS(C2:C10, A2:A10, "", B2:B10, "")

Sum values in cells C2:C10 with the same conditions as the above formula, but includes empty strings.

Non-blank cells "<>" Sum values corresponding to non-empty cells, including zero length strings. =SUMIFS(C2:C10, A2:A10, "<>", B2:B10, "<>")

Sum values in cells C2:C10 if the corresponding cells in columns A and B are not empty, including cells with empty strings.

SUM-SUMIF
or
SUM / LEN
Sum values corresponding to non-empty cells, not including zero length strings. =SUM(C2:C10) - SUMIFS(C2:C10, A2:A10, "", B2:B10, "")

=SUM((C2:C10) * (LEN(A2:A10)>0)*(LEN(B2:B10)>0))

Sum values in cells C2:C10 if the corresponding cells in columns A and B are not empty, cells with zero length strings are not included.

And now, let's see how you can use a SUMIFS formula with "blank" and "non-blank" criteria on real data.

Suppose, you have an order date in column B, delivery date in column C and Qty. in column D. How do you find the total of products that have not been delivered yet? That is, you want to know the sum of values corresponding to non-empty cells in column B and empty cells in column C.

The solution is to use the SUMIFS formula with 2 criteria:

=SUMIFS(D2:D10, B2:B10,"<>", C2:C10,"=")
Excel SUMIFS formula for blank and non-blank cells

Using Excel SUMIF with multiple OR criteria

As noted in the beginning of this tutorial, the SUMIFS function is designed with AND logic. But what if you need to sum values with multiple OR criteria, i.e. when at least one of the conditions is met?

Example 1. SUMIF + SUMIF

The simplest solution is to sum the results returned by several SUMIF functions. For example, the following formula demonstrates how to find the total of products delivered by Mike and John:

=SUMIF(C2:C9,"Mike",D2:D9) + SUMIF(C2:C9,"John",D2:D9)
Excel SUMIF formula with multiple OR criteria

As you see, the first SUMIF function adds the quantities corresponding to "Mike", the other SUMIF function returns the amounts relating to "John" and then you add these 2 numbers.

Example 2. SUM & SUMIF with an array argument

The above solution is very simple and may get the job done quickly when there are only a couple of criteria. But a SUMIF + SUMIF formula may grow up enormously if you want to sum values with multiple OR conditions. In this case, a better approach is using an array criteria argument in the SUMIF function. Let's examine this approach now.

You can start by listing all of your conditions separated by commas and then enclose the resulting comma-separated list in {curly brackets}, which is technically called an array.

In the previous example, if you want to sum the products delivered by John, Mike and Pete, your array criteria will look like {"John","Mike","Pete"}. And the complete SUMIF function is SUMIF(C2:C9, {"John","Mike","Pete"} ,D2:D9).

The array argument consisting of 3 values forces your SUMIF formula to return three separate results, but since we write the formula in a single cell, it would return the first result only - i.e. the total of products delivered by John. To get this array-criteria approach to work, you have to use one more little trick - enclose your SUMIF formula in a SUM function, like this:

=SUM(SUMIF(C2:C9, {"John","Mike","Pete"} , D2:D9))
Using SUM & SUMIF with an array argument to sum values with multiple OR criteria

As you see, an array criteria makes the formula much more compact compared to SUMIF + SUMIF, and lets you add as many values as you like in the array.

This approach works with numbers as well as with text values. For instance, if instead of the suppliers' names in column C, you had supplier IDs like 1, 2, 3 etc., then your SUMIF formula would look similar to this:

=SUM(SUMIF(C2:C9, {1,2,3} , D2:D9))

Unlike text values, numbers needn't be enclosed in double quotes in array arguments.

Example 3. SUMPRODUCT & SUMIF

In case, your preferred way is to list the criteria in some cells rather that specify them directly in the formula, you can use SUMIF in conjunction with the SUMPRODUCT function that multiplies components in the given arrays, and returns the sum of those products.

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(C2:C9, G2:G4, D2:D9))

Where G2:G4 are the cells containing your criteria, the suppliers' names in our case, as illustrated in the screenshot below.

But of course, nothing prevents you from listing the values in an array criteria of your SUMIF function if you want to:

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(C2:C9, {"Mike","John","Pete"}, D2:D9))

The result returned by both formulas will be identical to what you see in the screenshot:
Sum with multiple criteria using the SUMPRODUCT / SUMIF formula

Excel SUMIFS with multiple OR criteria

If you want to conditionally sum values in Excel not simply with multiple OR conditions, but with several sets of conditions, you will have to use SUMIFS instead of SUMIF. The formulas will be very similar to what we've just discussed.

As usual, an example might help to illustrate the point better. In our table of fruit suppliers, let's add the Delivery Date (column E) and find the total quantity delivered by Mike, John and Pete in October.

Example 1. SUMIFS + SUMIFS

The formula produced by this approach includes a lot of repetition and looks cumbersome, but it is easy to understand and, most importantly, it works : )

=SUMIFS(D2:D9,C2:C9, "Mike", E2:E9,">=10/1/2014", E2:E9, "<=10/31/2014") +
SUMIFS(D2:D9, C2:C9, "John", E2:E9, ">=10/1/2014", E2:E9, "<=10/31/2014") +
SUMIFS(D2:D9, C2:C9, "Pete", E2:E9, ">=10/1/2014" ,E2:E9, "<=10/31/2014")

As you see, you write a separate SUMIFS function for each of the suppliers and include two conditions - equal to or greater than Oct-1 (">=10/1/2014",) and less than or equal to Oct 31 ("<=10/31/2014"), and then you sum the results.
Add several SUMIFS functions to sum values with multiple OR conditions

Example 2. SUM & SUMIFS with an array argument

I've tried to explain the essence of this approach in the SUMIF example, so now we can simply copy that formula, change the order of arguments (as you remember it is different in SUMIF and SUMIFS) and add additional criteria. The resulting formula is more compact than SUMIFS + SUMIFS:

=SUM(SUMIFS(D2:D9,C2:C9, {"Mike", "John", "Pete"}, E2:E9,">=10/1/2014", E2:E9, "<=10/31/2014"))

The result returned by this formula is exactly the same as you see in the screenshot above.

Example 3. SUMPRODUCT & SUMIFS

As you remember, the SUMPRODUCT approach differs from the previous two in the way that you enter each of your criteria in a separate cell rather that specify them directly in the formula. In case of several criteria sets, the SUMPRODUCT function won't suffice and you will have to employ ISNUMBER and MATCH as well.

So, assuming that the Supplies Names are in cells H1:H3, Start Date is in cell H4 and End Date in cell H5, our SUMPRODUCT formula takes the following shape:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(E2:E9>=H4), --(E2:E9<=H5), --(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C2:C9, H1:H3,0))), D2:D9)
The SUMPRODUCT formula to sum values with multiple OR conditions

Many people wonder why use double dash (--) in SUMPRODUCT formulas. The point is that Excel SUMPRODUCT ignores all but numeric values, while the comparison operators in our formula return Boolean values (TRUE / FALSE), which are non-numeric. To convert these Boolean values to 1's and 0's, you use the double minus sign, which is technically called the double unary operator. The first unary coerces TRUE/FALSE to -1/0, respectively. The second unary negates the values, i.e. reverses the sign, turning them into +1 and 0, which the SUMPRODUCT function can understand.

I hope the above explanation makes sense. And even if it doesn't, just remember this rule of thumb - use the double unary operator (--) when you are using comparison operators in your SUMPRODUCT formulas.

Using Excel SUM in array formulas

As you remember, Microsoft implemented the SUMIFS function in Excel 2007. If someone still uses Excel 2003, 2000 or earlier, you will have to use a SUM array formula to add values with multiple AND criteria. Naturally, this approach works in modern versions of Excel 2013 - 2007 too, and can be deemed an old-fashioned counterpart of the SUMIFS function.

In the SUMIF formulas discussed above, you have already used array arguments, but an array formula is something different.

Example 1. Sum with multiple AND criteria in Excel 2003 and earlier

Let's get back to the very first example where we found out a sum of amounts relating to a given fruit and supplier:
Source table to sum values by several conditions

As you already know, this task is easily accomplished using an ordinary SUMIFS formula:
=SUMIFS(C2:C9, A2:A9, "apples", B2:B9, "Pete")

And now, let's see how the same task can be fulfilled in early "SUMIFS-free" versions of Excel. First off, you write down all the conditions that should be met in the form of range="condition". In this example, we have two range/condition pairs:

Condition 1: A2:A9="apples"

Condition 2: B2:B9="Pete"

Then, you write a SUM formulas that "multiplies" all of your range/condition pairs, each enclosed in brackets. The last multiplier is the sum range, C2:C9 in our case:

=SUM((A2:A9="apples") * ( B2:B9="Pete") * ( C2:C9))

As illustrated in the screenshot below, the formula perfectly works in the latest Excel 2013 version.
An example of using Excel SUM in an array formula

Note. When entering any array formula, you must press Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Once you do this, your formula gets enclosed in {curly braces}, which is a visual indication that an array formula is entered correctly. If you try typing the braces manually, your formula will be converted to a text string, and it won't work.

Example 2. SUM array formulas in modern Excel versions

Even in modern versions of Excel, the power of the SUM function should not be underestimated. The SUM array formula is not simply gymnastics of the mind, but has a practical value, as demonstrated in the following example.

Suppose, you have two columns, B and C, and you need to count how many times column C is greater than column B, when a value in column C is greater or equal to 10. An immediate solution that comes to mind is using the SUM array formula:

=SUM((C1:C10>=10) * (C1:C10>B1:B10))
Using SUM array formulas in modern Excel versions

Don't see any practical application to the above formula? Think about it in another way : )

Suppose, you have the orders list like shown in the screenshot below and you want to know how many products have not been delivered in full by a given date. Translated into Excel's language, we have the following conditions:

Condition 1: A value in column B (Ordered items) is greater than 0

Condition 2: A value in column C (Delivered) in less than in column B

Condition 3: A date in column D (Due date) is less than 11/1/2014.

Putting the three range/condition pairs together, you get the following formula:

=SUM((B2:B10>=0)*(B2:B10>C2:C10)*(D2:D10<G2))
An example of SUM array formula in Excel 2013

Well, the formula examples discussed in this tutorial have only scratched the surface of what Excel SUMIFS and SUMIF functions can really do. But hopefully, they have helped pointing you in the right direction and now you can sum values in your Excel workbooks no matter how many intricate conditions you have to consider.

  3. I am having trouble coming up with a proper formula for this:
    This is a list of positions open and when it was filled.
    Site Status Created Filled
    A FT 1/1/2000 1/2/2000

    B P 1/8/2000
    C P 1/9/2000
    I am trying to write a formula that basically asks, If site = x, then sum 8 for FT and 6 for PT, for each entry if my date in question falls between the created and filled dates. Also if the filled date is blank that means it's still open. So that needs to be included.
    My gut tells me it should be an index/match formula (or vlookup) which i've done in the past.
    This is the forumla that i have so far =SUMIFS(Hours,Site, "="&B3, Status, "="&D3, Created, ""&C3)
    I created a new column that listed the status as a number.

  4. Name Amount 1099 Y/N
    A (250) N
    A (2,546.58) Y
    B 184.50 N
    C (3,500.00) Y
    B (1,500.00) N

    Hi, if I want to sum if 1099 column indicates "Y" by "Name" so that it will populate A with "Y" ...B with "Y" ..so forth. how do i formulate the functions?

  5. I'm trying to avoid sumifs + sumifs + ...
    I have multiple criteria in my data table (date, location, type, subtype) that must match. I'd like to be able to have location and type look to a list for criteria rather than hard code, as I need to use similar function 15 or more times and prefer to change the list reference than typing in and hard-coding the names, places as they change.

    sumifs(C:C,B:B,list1,A:A,datecell,D:D,sitelist)
    Above is oversimplified as I reference 4-5 criteria ranges

    it works when I reference 1 list and it seems that either I have a bad list reference of it won't allow criteria to be lists in 2 places.

    can you help?

    1) if a name in column C matches a name in columns A and B to say "good"
    2) if the name in column C matches a name in column A but not B to say "scanned"
    3) if the name in column C matches a name in column B but not in column A to say "timesheet".

    Example:
    A B C D
    Adriana Alvin Alvin GOOD
    Alvin Tony N/A N/A
    Anthony Adriana Anthony SCANNED
    Sam Sam Tony TIMESHEET

  13. HI,

    IF I NEED TO CALCULATE ONLY THE QUANTITY OF AN APPLE USING IF CONDITION WHAT WOULD BE THE FORMULA

  14. Hello, I'm a beginner and a teacher who really needs help with creating my formula. I want the formula to report the number in column 1 if the numbers in the column is between 1 - 4 but add column 1 to 2 if column 1 is 5 or more. If column 1 and 2 is greater than 10, I want it to add column 3 otherwise just say the sum of 1 and 2. This goes on for quite some time and so the function often breaks or doesn't work properly. Any tips on how to do this? I tried to write a formula with the if function but it didn't work well. I'd be grateful for any and every tip. Thanks, T.

    • Hi!

      If my understanding of the task is correct, the following formula should work a treat:

      =IF(A2<5, A2, IF(A2+B2>10, A2+B2+C2, A2+B2))

  15. please see attached

  16. Hi Gabriel

    =IFERROR((Z19/AD19),0)

    or

    =IF(AA19=0,0,Z19/AA19)

    I would do the first one personally. Hope it helps!

    Michel, I would just add another column with =IF(G2<100,SUM(G2*250)*H2,H2*G2)

  17. I was hoping someone might give me some insight into how I can combine these two functions:

    =SUM(Z19/AD19)
    =IF(AD19,Z19/AD19,0)

    The SUM is delivering a #DIV/0!

    This leads to the IF statement which delivers a "0" so it can be read by some conditional formatting I have listed.

    I need the cell to be able to read the SUM and calculate when it can (and it does) but if the division is by "0" and I get the #DIV/0! I need that IF calculation to produce the "0"

    Can anyone help please?

  18. Hi

    I want to include a SUMIF in a SUMPROUCT formula where a value should change if it is lower than a specific value.

    =SUMPRODUCT((G2:G36,H2:H36)/SUMIF(G2:G36,"<100", G2:G36*250))

    The above function does not work, however, if value(number) in the "G" row is lower than 100, it should be multiplied by 250.

    I cannot get it to work...hope you can help.

  19. Thanks

  32. I want to take a single criteria from one column, take a multiple criteria from another column and then sum the final column if the criteria from the first two are there. I know in your world this is a absolutely simple but I'm struggling. I'm looking for PFV in column C,if we have a PFV in column C then we also need 1,2,5,6,45,46,49 or 50 in column E, I then need the sum of the relevant figures in column F. I have to do this for over 100 separate tabs! Thanks for any help you can give me!

  33. In my column A I've all the first name and column B is the last name. When I try to do a sumifs to add any names in Column A it won't give me any result. However, when I do the same sumifs for column B it give me the correct result. How come they can't search the names in Column A. Please advise. Thanks

    • Hi Frank,

      Sorry, it's not possible to determine the source of the problem without seeing the original data. Try typing some names manually in a new sheet, and then try your formula. If it works, then the problem is with the names in the original worksheet, and if it doesn't, then double check the formula.

  37. How do I get the total of all Fruit NOT sold by Mike?

    • Hi Sheil,

      You can use a SUMIF formula similar to this:
      =SUMIF(B2:B10, "<>"&"mike", C2:C10)

      Where B is the column containing the names and C is the column to sum.

  41. Hello,

    I am trying to come up with a formula that populates a sum of numbers from a different sheet (data source) - The tricky part is, I need the formula to cover a few different scenarios.

    Here are the things i need to cover:

    1. I need all of the items in a certain status (located in one column) that have a date range between 6/3/2016 - 6/9/2016 (located in another column)

    2. I need all of the items in 3 different status' (located in the same column) that have a date range between 6/3/2016 - 6/9/2016 (located in another column).

    The table I am trying to fill is on a different worksheet within the same workbook. I am having difficulty determining what formula set(s) to use to accomplish this. I will need to repeat the process weekly to have a running total - The data source will also be updated weekly, so these numbers need to be active, not static.

    Example:

    I need the total of all measures (items) that are in status "1-Template", status "2-Configuration", status "2.1-Reconfig" that were completed between 6/3 - 6/9 - I need this number to be populated into a table I created on sheet 2.

    Next, I need all of the measures (items) that are in status "6.3-Production" that were completed between 6/3 - 6/9- I need this number to be populated into a table I created on sheet 2.

    The range of the columns for status is A2:A5181
    The range of date completed is C2:C5181

    Any assistance is greatly appreciated! *I doubt anyone will see this immediately, but if possible, I need this today :) )

  43. Hi,

    I am trying to calculate a formula that encompasses more that one cell as a criteria(so I don't have to copy the formula 4 times which each cell.

    eg I have list of criteria
    DASHBORD
    A53 England
    A54 America
    A55 Scotland
    A56 Australia

    My formula currently is:
    =SUMIFS('Master List'!H:H,'Master List'!I:I,"Ticket",'Master List'!BN:BN,Dashboard!A53)

    How do I change Dashboard!A53 to include A54, A55 and A56 eg(A54:A56)

  44. We list our jobs on a WIP (work in progress) worksheet. Column E is the total revenue expected on the job. Column K is our actual cost in dollars of the job. Column P is the % of the job completed based on Cost/Revenue. Column U is the amount invoiced to date. Column X needs to tell us, based on the % complete, less previously invoiced amount, what our projected revenue will be. The part I can't seem to get is how do we tell Column X to only calculate up to 100% of Column P?

    If costs exceed 100%, it keeps calculating, telling us our projections need to invoice more then what the expected revenue will be. (Obviously we cant charge the customer more just because we didn't control our costs and keep them under 100%. I need it to only calculate up to 100%.

    E: Total Revenue for the job(we enter this amt)
    K: Job Costs in Dollar Amount (we enter this amt)
    P: Calculated % of Work Complete using the formula cost/revenue
    U: Amount invoiced to date (a formula calculating previously invoice + current invoicing)
    X: should tell us what our projected revenue is but only up to 100% in column P. Should column P go over 100%, we don't want to use the overage.

  45. I have a sheet that shows planned and actual delivered tonnage for a product.

    In the A column I have the delivery date, and in the B column, I have the month number ranging from 1 to 12 based on the date in the A column; in the I column, I have the planned tonnage, and in the J column, I have the actual delivered tonnage. The cells in the J column is blank if no delivery have been done yet.

    What I am looking for is a way to make a prognosis calculation based on what has actually been delivered so far this month plus the planned tonnage for the deliveries remaining this month.

    Right now, I have a hidden column that either shows the corresponding J cell value if it is bigger than 0 and if not, shows the I value. And then does a summation of this hidden column where the B value corresponds to the month number I am calculating.

    Is this possible using functions in Excel?

  46. Hi,

    Nice thread.

    In your example of =SUM(SUMIF(C2:C9, {"John","Mike","Pete"} , D2:D9))

    my equivalent would be =SUM(SUMIF(C2:C9, {"2A","2B","2C"} , D2:D9))

    while 2 is determined dynamically within the same sheet say it is in cell E1 and then A, B and C have to be concatenated.

    I have tried something like below -
    =SUM(SUMIF(C2:C9, {"&E1A","&E1B","&E1C"} , D2:D9))

    or

    =SUM(SUMIF(C2:C9, {"&E1&"A"","&E1"&B"","&E1"&C""} , D2:D9))

    Can you please help?

  47. Is it possible to use sumifs to add numbers based on the letter and the date? For example: the sum of all A for 30-Apr (=6)

    B 1 2 3 4
    C 1 2 3 4
    A 1 2 3 4
    E 1 2 3 4
    C 1 2 3 4
    G 1 2 3 4
    H 1 2 3 4

  48. This is a great article with a bunch of new tricks I do not know about. My question is that when I used the array argument in a SUMIFS function, the results are calculated from only applying the first argument in the list, and ignored the rest. In your example, when I used {1, 2, 3} as the array argument, the SUMIFS function only returns the calculation based on 1, not including 2 or 3. My excel is from Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. When I tried to search "array argument" in Excel Help (clicking the "?" on the upper right corner, there was no relevant entry appeared.

    Does this array argument a newer feature than Office 2013 or an older feature but eliminated from Office 2013?

    Thanks for your help!
