SUMIFS function sum;satisfying conditions

SUMIFS function

Returns the sum of the values of cells in a range that meets multiple criteria in multiple ranges.
SUMIFS() Func_Range – required argument. It is a range of cells, a name of a named range or a label of a column or a row containing values for calculating the sum.

Simple usage

=SUMIFS(B2:B6;B2:B6;">=20") Calculates the sum of values of the range B2:B6 that are greater than or equal to 20. Returns 75, because the fifth row does not meet the criterion. =SUMIFS(C2:C6;B2:B6;">=20";C2:C6;">70") Calculates the sum of values of the range C2:C6 that are greater than 70 and correspond to cells of the B2:B6 range with values greater than or equal to 20. Returns 275, because the second and the fifth rows do not meet at least one criterion.

Using regular expressions and nested functions

=SUMIFS(C2:C6;B2:B6;">"&MIN(B2:B6);B2:B6;"<"&MAX(B2:B6)) Calculates the sum of values of the range C2:C6 that correspond to all values of the range B2:B6 except its minimum and maximum. Returns 255, because the third and the fifth rows do not meet at least one criterion. =SUMIFS(C2:C6;A2:A6;"pen.*";B2:B6;"<"&MAX(B2:B6)) Calculates the sum of values of the range C2:C6 that correspond to all cells of the A2:A6 range starting with "pen" and to all cells of the B2:B6 range except its maximum. Returns 65, because only second row meets all criteria.

Reference to a cell as a criterion

If you need to change a criterion easily, you may want to specify it in a separate cell and use a reference to this cell in the condition of the SUMIFS function. For example, the above function can be rewritten as follows: =SUMIFS(C2:C6;A2:A6;E2&".*";B2:B6;"<"&MAX(B2:B6)) If E2 = pen, the function returns 65, because the link to the cell is substituted with its content.
