We can now talk about the different forms of the SumProduct() function.

You'll get a #VALUE! error with the asterisk form (what I suggested), if
*any* of the values in (Column C), are *not* numeric.

You might consider this something "good" or something "bad",
"Good", in that you now know that you have contaminated, or in the least,
"different" data.
"Bad" in that you don't have a viable return.

You might try the unary (comma) version, which will bypass the "bad"
(different) data, and give you a return, HOWEVER, without informing you of
the presence of this "different" data in your list, and therefore *perhaps*
returning *incorrect* solutions.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B4:B40=111),--(B4:B40<=120),C4:C40)

It's your choice as to whether or not you need or want to know of the
presence of this "different " data.

RD,

I did try them and verbatim.... I got Value errors so I assumed that I had
miscommunicated my intent and that for whatever reason that it wouldn't
work.
I am also rather new to the full capabilities of Excel and when I see 2
sets
of parentheses next to each other I assumed they would be multiplied.

I will give them another try and I appreciate your input

Thanks,

Steve

Neither of my suggestions will *multiply* any values.

Is there any particular reason why you chose not to at *least try* the
suggestions before rejecting them?

If you have "hundreds" of numbers, the SumProduct formula would probably

be
the way to go.

I would suggest for the *second* time (first was in my first post), to

*try*
the suggestions.

I appreciate the suggestions but.... these response seem to multiply and

I
need to add them....

I guess my basic question is. Is there any way to a have a RANGE in the
Criteria portion of the SUMIF formula..... the range is hundreds of
numbers
and would be impractical to list every one of them separated by

commas....

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated greatly

Try either of these:

=SUM(SUMIF(B4:B40,{111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118 ,119,120},C4:C40))

OR

=SUMPRODUCT((B4:B40=111)*(B4:B40<=120)*C4:C40)

What if I want to make the criteria a range... such as if I want to

sum
up
all the dollar amounts for a Expense codes from 111 -120 to include
111,112,113,114, etc.

I put in, for example, =sumif(B4:B40,4400:4800,C4:C40) and I got "0"
even
though there was a number in that range.... Did I screw it up some

how?

Thanks

=SUMIF(A:A,111,B:B)

or, put the "111" in C1 and use

=SUMIF(A:A,C1,B:B)

This may or may not be possible...... But I would like to be able
to
sum
up
the numbers from one column only if they are

For example

A B
Expense Code Budgeted Amt.
111 $100
112 $200
111 $300

I would like a formula that add up only the dollar amounts for
items
whose
"Expense Code" is 111.......

There are forty line items with various expense codes and I need

to
be
able
to total everything as well as break it down by expense code for

a
separate
table. I can't designate certain cells to be included because

they
are
constantly changing or are different for each case (110 sheets
represent
110
different entities) so the formula must have the criteria from

one
cell
(Expense Code) to filter outthe dollar amounts.

Is this even possible? Any and all help will be greatly
appreciated


Steve
