Thanks for bearing with me. Did you try =sumif(A1:A1,2,B1:B2)? According to
their help text, "sum_range does not have to be the same size and shape as
range." It seems for the sum_range it's ignoring the rows in column A that
contain 1 instead of 2.
Thanks for taking the time.

Julie,
I entered your identical data and in C1 entered =sumif(A:A,2,B:B) and it
worked fine for me

Ray- Thanks. I did try that (just tried it again). It doesn't make a
difference. I also made sure column A was numeric by-the-way. Any other
thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi Julie,
Remove the " marks and the equal sign. The " signify text and the = sign is

I'm trying to use SUMIF and the results appear to be wrong. I've checked to
be sure that the values in column B are truly numbers (not text) and they are
numbers. Column C1 is where the formula resides and the sum should be
583.50. I watched what happening using the Function Wizard, and for the
sum_range it is = {516;67.50}. Also tried taking the = out of the criteria
argument and it doesn't matter. Any ideas?

=SUMIF(A1:A1,"=2",B1:B2)

A B C
2 516.00 516
1 67.50


Thanks for your help,
