SUMIFS CHEATSHEET

-
SUMIFS is an Excel function designed for summing values based on multiple criteria. It allows users to specify different conditions in various ranges, summing only the values that meet all specified criteria. The syntax provides a sum range, multiple criteria ranges, and their corresponding conditions.

SYNTAX

=sumifs(sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, (criteria_range2, criteria2),....)

sum_range: The range of cells to sum.
criteria_range1: The range to apply the first condition.
criteria1 : The condition to be met in criteria_range1
[criteria_range2, criteria2]:Additional ranges and their respective conditions


EXAMPLES

1. Basic Sumifs 

Result: $800 – Sum of Sales where Product is A

2. Mutiple Condition
Result: $800 - Sum of Revenue where Region is South and Quarter is 2

3. Dynamic Data range 
Result: 300 - Sum of Values where Category is B, Type is Y, and Date is within the last 30 days

Why SUMIFS instead of SUMIF?

SUMIFS
  • Allows for multiple criteria ranges.
  • More versatile with multiple conditions.
  • Supports AND logic for criteria. Criteria columns are independent.
  • More flexible for complex conditions.

SUMIF
  • Only accommodates a single criteria range. Suitable for simple, single-condition sums. Operates on OR logic for multiple criteria.
  • Single criteria column is used for summing.
  • Limited flexibility due to single criteria.
