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 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003 and lower. The SUMIF function is a worksheet function that adds all numbers in a range of cells based on one criteria (for example, is equal to 2000). The SUMIF function is a built-in function in Excel that is categorized as a Math/Trig Function. It can be used as a worksheet function (WS) in Excel.

Countif To count cells based on one criteria (for example, greater than 9), use the following COUNTIF function. Note: visit our page about the function for many more examples. Countifs To count cells based on multiple criteria (for example, green and greater than 9), use the following COUNTIFS function. Sum To sum a range of cells, use the SUM function. Sumif To sum cells based on one criteria (for example, greater than 9), use the following SUMIF function (two arguments). To sum cells based on one criteria (for example, green), use the following SUMIF function (three arguments, last argument is the range to sum).

Note: visit our page about the function for many more examples. Sumifs To sum cells based on multiple criteria (for example, circle and red), use the following SUMIFS function (first argument is the range to sum). General note: in a similar way, you can use the AVERAGEIF and AVERAGEIFS function to average cells based on one or multiple criteria.

I'm having a problem with the SUM function that I hope someone can help me with. I'm running OS10.3.9, with Excel 11.3. I have a row of numbers followed by two SUM functions that each add up half the row; e.g., in cell G4 is '=sum(a4:c4)' and in cell H4 is '=sum(d4:f4)'. The problem is that as I enter numbers, the formula in G4 automatically adds the adjacent cells (d4:f4) to its formula, and sums all 6 cells. The second function in H4 works, adding only the last three cells.

I tried turning off auto error checking, but that didn't work. If I leave error checking on, I get an error saying that the formula omits adjacent cells, but if I tell it to ignore the error, it still auto-'corrects'. Is there some setting that I'm missing that will allow Excel to retain the formula as I entered it? Thanks in advance for any advice. SUM function automatically adds adjacent cells.

XL will.never. change a formula when you enter values into another cell (unless you've got an event macro which does so, but that's not really XL's doing.). Please give a step-by-step description of exactly what you're seeing: the values in A4:F4 and the formulas in G4:H4 when you start, and then after you enter a number. Posted:, 08:21 PM Two options I can think of right off: 1- Go to Excel Prefeences Edit, clear the check to Extend Datarange formulas & formats - however, that might be counterproductive for other aspects of the workbook.

2- Make the reference in the G4 formula Absolute, use Cmd+Return to finish - HTH :) Bob Jones MVP Office:Mac 'aj' wrote in message news:29150907%aj@thisisaninvalidemailadd ress.com. I'm having a problem with the SUM function that I hope someone can help me with.

Both these options work. I had read the description of Extend List Formats and Formulas, but it didn't seem to apply. Obviously it does. It's not clear to me why it should extend formulas to cover additonal cells in the same row; I thought the point of the automatic extension was for adding a new row to a list, so that the new row would have the same formats and formulas as existing rows. In any event, the problem seems solved, and I thank you again.

Please give a step-by-step description of exactly what you're seeing: the values in A4:F4 and the formulas in G4:H4 when you start, and then after you enter a number. Thanks for replying. It happens even with only one SUM function.

Start with a blank worksheet. Enter '=sum(a4:c4)' in cell G4. Then select A4 and enter '1'.

G4 correctly says '1'. Now go to B4 and enter another 1. Similarly enter 1 in C4, and G4 is now 3. Now enter 1 in D4.

G4 turns black for a moment, and then reads 4! If you check cell G4, the formula now reads '=sum(a4:d4)'. If you enter a 1 in E4, G4 will now have 5, and the formula reads '=sum(a4:e4)'. Posted:, 12:15 AM I'm glad the suggestions helped, but the actual reason that the problem occurred is that you wrote a formula (or two) that referred to empty cells:-) In days gone by that was a no-no, but today's 'user-friendly, intuitive' software let's us get away with doing actually.encourages. us to do things that lead to problematic situations:-) Also: You're right that a 'list' is normally columnar in most people's minds, but as you've now found it can be horizontal as well.

At least in the mind of Excel. Regards :) Bob Jones MVP Office:Mac On 8/22/07 7:19 PM, in article 19162102%aj@thisisaninvalidemailaddress.

Glad Bob caught it.
