In XL 2002 and XL 2003 the Help file says
=SUMIF(A2:A5,"160000",B2:B5) Sum of the commissions for property
values over 160000 (63,000)

This looks fine to me; what version are you using?

There is a bug in the help section for function SUMIF. Last line says
"Sum
of the commissions for property values over 160000 (21,000)" but it should
say "Sum of the commissions for property values equal to 300000 (21,000)".
