Study Notes

SUMIFS Function

The SUMIFS function in Excel is used to sum cells that meet multiple criteria.

Syntax:

SUMIFS(sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2], [criteria2], ...)

Arguments:

sum_range: The range of cells that you want to sum.
criteria_range1 and criteria_range2: The ranges of cells that you want to apply the criteria to.
criteria1 and criteria2: The criteria that you want to apply to the cells in the criteria ranges.

How it Works:

The SUMIFS function sums up the values in the sum_range that correspond to the cells in the criteria_range that meet the specified criteria.
The function can be used with multiple criteria ranges and criteria.

Examples:

=SUMIFS(A1:A10, B1:B10, "USA", C1:C10, "North"): Sums up the values in cells A1:A10 where the corresponding cells in B1:B10 are "USA" and the corresponding cells in C1:C10 are "North".
=SUMIFS(D1:D10, A1:A10, "Product A", B1:B10, "USA"): Sums up the values in cells D1:D10 where the corresponding cells in A1:A10 are "Product A" and the corresponding cells in B1:B10 are "USA".

Tips and Variations:

You can use the SUMIFS function with multiple criteria ranges and criteria.
You can use the SUMIFS function with named ranges or references.
You can use the SUMIFS function with other Excel functions, such as the IF function, to create more complex formulas.
