To better understand how to apply Sumif and Vlookup functions, we will have an example as shown below.

The revenue table below has 3 small tables with 3 different contents. Table 1 will be the employee with each person's code, Table 2 will be the employee number and the sales of each person. Table 3 will be the table filled in the results and left blank.

Here you need to use Sumif and VLlookup functions , to calculate the total employee turnover under given conditions.

If we only use Sumif function, we cannot calculate the total revenue of the employee because the column SV code is not in the same table. Thus, you need to use VLOOKUP function to find employee code corresponding to each person, then combine Sumif function to calculate the total revenue of employees with conditions.

Step 1:

We will apply the formula to the table. The formula will be:

= SUMIF (D: D, VLOOKUP (B12, A3: B7,2, FALSE), E: E)

Inside:

1. Sumif and Vlookup are aggregate functions and conditional search functions.
2. D: D is the area containing the conditional cells.
3. B12 is the value area to compare with the sales column, the value to be searched. When changing the name, the sales column also changes.
4. A3: B7 is the column data area to retrieve data to detect the value for the B12 area above.
5. Number 2 is the order of output displayed on the screen, depending on how many columns the data needs to be taken. Here the column to get the data is Code NV in position 2, column B, so the order will be 2.
6. Flase is the absolute search range that gives accurate results instead of using True for relative results.
7. E: E is a given area for each employee's revenue.

Step 2:

You will enter the formula above in cell C12 in Table 3, then enter the employee name you want to calculate the total revenue in cell B12 . Here I will calculate the total revenue of the fee fee of Thanh Thanh Lan.

You can change the format of the column before or after the result is calculated.
