The SUMIFS function in Excel is used to sum a range of values based on multiple criteria. It's particularly useful for financial analysis, data analysis, and any scenario where you need to sum data conditionally.
Syntax
SUMIFS(sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2], ...)
Parameters
- sum_range: The range of cells to sum.
- criteria_range1: The range of cells that you want to apply the first criteria against.
- criteria1: The condition that must be met in criteria_range1.
- criteria_range2, criteria2: (Optional) Additional ranges and criteria. You can include multiple pairs of ranges and criteria.
Example Scenario
Consider the following sales data in Excel (A1
):
A | B | C | D |
---|---|---|---|
Date | Product | Sales | Region |
2024-01-01 | Widget A | 150 | North |
2024-01-02 | Widget B | 200 | South |
2024-01-03 | Widget A | 250 | North |
2024-01-04 | Widget B | 100 | South |
2024-01-05 | Widget A | 300 | East |
Goal
You want to sum the total sales of Widget A in the North region.
Steps
-
Identify the Ranges and Criteria:
- sum_range: C2
- criteria_range1: B2
- criteria1: "Widget A"
- criteria_range2: D2
- criteria2: "North"
- sum_range: C2
-
Write the SUMIFS Formula:
=SUMIFS(C2:C6, B2:B6, "Widget A", D2:D6, "North")
Explanation
- C2
- B2
- D2
Result
This formula will return 400, as it sums the sales of Widget A in the North region (150 + 250).
Additional Example
Scenario
You want to sum total sales for Widget B in the South region.
- Formula:
=SUMIFS(C2:C6, B2:B6, "Widget B", D2:D6, "South")
Explanation
- This will return 300, as it sums the sales of Widget B in the South region (200 + 100).
Important Notes
- Multiple Criteria: You can include multiple pairs of criteria ranges and criteria to refine your sums further.
- Non-Contiguous Ranges: SUMIFS only works with contiguous ranges for sum_range and criteria_range.
- Criteria can be Cell References: Instead of hardcoding criteria like "Widget A," you can reference another cell (e.g.,
=SUMIFS(C2:C6, B2:B6, E1, D2:D6, "North")
, where E1 contains "Widget A").
