Hi Roger,

Thanks again - I'll try it again at work and lete you know how it goes.

By the way, I added the "conditional sum" add in today, and that makes it
work and uses the { bracket at the start and end of the formula - never seen
that before. The only thing with that is that you can't amend the formula,
it's a strange one.

I would have thought that MS would have a function that allows more than one
condition in the SUMIF function.

Thanks,

James

Try it and see. If the data is as you say, then the formula given will
return the value 9.

Hi,

I picked up the mistake with the "orange" vs "oranges" ...... and I looked
up the sumproduct function at work today, and it appears to be a
multiplication function based on arrays. I want to SUM a column based on a
SUMIF of two columns - not sure if SUMPRODUCT would do this?

Thanks -

Apologies James

I mistyped. It should be
=SUMPRODUCT(--($B$2:$B$5="Orange"),--($C$2:$C$5="Blue"),$A$2:$A$5)

Ranges must be of equal size in sumproduct. I typed a 1 instead of 2 for the
range in column A and I typed "Oranges" instead of "Orange" for the
criterion in column B.

Must be time to get the coffee pot brewing again!!!

Sum product is not working..... coming up with "0".

Any other ideas?

Hi James

One way
=SUMPRODUCT(--($B$2:$B$5="Oranges"),--($C$2:$C$5="Blue"),$A$1:$A$5)

Hi,

I want to do a SUMIF but on more than one condition. For example:

A B C
3 Apple Green
4 Orange Blue
4 Pear Yellow
5 Orange Blue
6 Orange Red

I want to sum the amounts in column A, based on column B and C. In this
case, sum the amounts in column A for Oranges in column B and Blue in Column
C.

Any help would be appreciated.

James
