=SUMIF(B1:B100,"<Fill",A1:A100)

Column A has 1's all the way down it column B has names all the way down it,
and then the word Fill if it needs a person there. I want to sum how many
workers I have that are not named Fill. I tried using
SUMIF(A1:A100,<"Fill",B1:B100) and all I get are errors. Any help would be
great
