Instructions for using SUMIFS function in Excel

The SUMIFS function syntax in Excel takes the form = SUMIFS (sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, criteria_range2, criteria2, .).

Inside:

1. sum_range: is the cells to be summed in the data table, empty values ​​and text values ​​are ignored, required parameters are required.
2. criteria_range1: the range to be checked by the criteria1, is the required value.
3. criteria1: applied condition for criteria_range1, it can be a number, expression, cell reference to determine which cell in criteria_range1 will be summed, which is also a required value.
4. criteria_range2, criteria2, .: optional additional ranges and conditions, up to 127 criteria_range, criteria pairs.

Note when using SUMIFS function in Excel:

1. Each cell in the region, sum_range scope will be summed when all the corresponding conditions specified are correct for that cell.
2. The cells in sum_range that contain TRUE are treated as 1, the cells not yet FALSE are considered 0.
3. Each criteria_range must have the same selection size as sum_range, criteria_range, and sum_range must have the same number of rows and the same number of columns.
4. criteria can use a question mark character (?) instead of a single character, an asterisk (*) replaces a string. If the condition is a question mark or a star, then you must enter the previous ~, the condition value is the text in the sign '.

We will sum it up with the following data table with several different conditions.

Example 1 : Calculating the total products that Hoai's staff sell with the unit price of under VND 400,000

In the input box, we enter the formula = SUMIFS (D2: D7, C2: C7, "Hoai", E2: E7, "<400000") and then press Enter.

In which D2: D7 area needs to calculate the total items, C2: C7 is the condition value area of ​​the employee name, 'Hoai' is the condition that the employee name needs to count the number of items contained in the area C2: C7, E2: E7 is Item condition, '400,000' is the condition that contains the item in area E2: E7.
