Use =sumif(A:A,"<="&D10,B:B) ...
Just like with hard-coded values, you need the second argument to be a
string. In this case you construct the string using the & operator.

This works well, however, can I push a bit more and ask how I can do this
same task but being able to use the portion in quotes as a reference. As I
experimented =SUMIF(A:A,<=D10,B:B)-SUMIF(A:A,<=D9,B:B) with col D being the
limits of each range didnt work.

Again, thanks for any assistance.

=SUMIF(A:A,"<=10",B:B)-SUMIF(A:A,"<=5",B:B)

etc.

Hello Wizards,

Col a has 200 - 300 entries limited to the integers 1 - 20 . Col b has
values associated with col a numbers. What do I use to get the sum of the
values in col b that are associated with a's digits 1-5, 6-10, etc.

TIA for your help!
Sam
