This isn't quite correct. A jones in m25000 WOULD add the value in
W25001.

In SUMIF the actual sum range used is determined by the size of the
range, e.g. if you use the formula

=SUMIF(a1:a10,"apple",b1)

b1:b10 is still used as the sum range

see Excel help for further information

Interesting. I didn't realize that.

In any event, the OP's problem possibly still stems from the sum range being
offset by 1.
