F1 on D_TICK, copied down:

=A1&"#"&B1

Then invoke:

=SUMIF(D_TICK!$F$1:$F$1000,'PIT & QUARRY'!F22&"#"&'PIT &
QUARRY'!H18,D_TICK!$E$1:$E$1000)

[2]

=SUMPRODUCT((D_TICK!$A$1:$A$1000='PIT &
QUARRY'!F22)+0,(D_TICK!$B$1:$B$1000='PIT &
QUARRY'!H18)+0,D_TICK!$E$1:$E$1000)

I have a worksheet as follows.


a b c d e
1 abc xyz 456
2 def poer 789
3 werq iug 123

I need a sumif " if column a=def and b= poer then sum column e"


I tried the following formula, but it didn't work :(

=SUMIF(D_TICK!$a$1:$e$1000,('PIT & QUARRY'!F22)&('PIT &
QUARRY'!H18),D_TICK!$e$1:1000)

any ideas??

[1] The SumProduct function should implicitly coerce the truth values to
their Excel numeric equivalents.
[2] The lookup functions should have an optional argument for the return
value, defaulting to #N/A in its absence.
