Math and Trignometric - SUMIFS Function



Description

The SUMIFS Function adds all of its arguments that meet multiple criteria.

Syntax

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

Arguments

Argument Description Required/Optional
Sum_range The range of cells to sum. Required
Criteria_range1

The range that is tested using Criteria1.

Criteria_range1 and Criteria1 set up a search pair whereby a range is searched for specific criteria.

Once items in the range are found, their corresponding values in Sum_range are added.

Required
Criteria1 The criteria that defines which cells in Criteria_range1 will be added. Required
Criteria_range2, criteria2, …

Additional ranges and their associated criteria.

You can enter up to 127 range/criteria pairs.

Optional

Notes

  • If the length of any of the supplied criteria_range arrays is not equal to the length of the sum_range array, SUMIFS returns #VALUE! Error.

  • You can use wildcard characters like the question mark (?) and asterisk (*) in criteria1, 2 to find matches that are similar but not exact.

  • A question mark matches any single character. An asterisk matches any sequence of characters. If you want to find an actual question mark or asterisk, type a tilde (~) in front of the question mark.

  • The order of arguments differ between SUMIFS and SUMIF. In particular, the sum_range argument is the first argument in SUMIFS, but it is the third argument in SUMIF.

  • The Criteria_range argument must contain the same number of rows and columns as the Sum_range argument.

Applicability

Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Excel 2013, Excel 2016
