It&#8217;s like a digital assistant that helps you calculate the total of numbers that meet certain criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Syntax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>=SUMIF(range, criteria, [sum_range])<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>range<\/strong><\/td><td>The range of cells that you want to evaluate against the given criteria.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>criteria<\/strong><\/td><td>The condition or criteria that you want to apply to the cells in the range. For example, &#8220;&gt;50&#8221; means values greater than 50.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>[sum_range]<\/strong><\/td><td>(Optional) The range of cells from which you want to sum values. If omitted, the function will sum the values in the &#8216;range&#8217; itself.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The SUMIF function is simple to use and can be a real time-saver. Here are some examples to illustrate how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you have a list of test scores in cells A1 to A5, and you want to find the sum of scores that are greater than or equal to 80:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=SUMIF(A1:A5, \"&gt;=80\")<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula will add up all the scores in the range A1 to A5 that meet the condition (&gt;=80).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s take it up a notch. Suppose you have a list of products in column B (B1 to B10) and their respective sales in column C (C1 to C10). You want to find the total sales for a specific product, let&#8217;s say &#8220;Apples.&#8221; You can use SUMIF like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=SUMIF(B1:B10, \"Apples\", C1:C10)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula will sum up the sales values in column C where the product name in column B matches &#8220;Apples.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more example: if you need to calculate the total sales of products with prices above $10, you can use SUMIF with a range of prices in column D (D1 to D10) and a condition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=SUMIF(D1:D10, \"&gt;10\", C1:C10)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula will add up the sales values from column C where the prices in column D are greater than $10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, whether you&#8217;re dealing with test scores, product sales, or any other data, the SUMIF function can help you efficiently calculate the sums you need based on specific criteria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Excel SUMIF function is a handy tool for adding up values based on a specific condition.
