Thanks both of you!

Bob Phillips formula worked better in this case. I still don't understand
why the two minus signs in the beginning are needed, but the formula won't
work without them so I guess I leave them there :)

Hi

Normaly you use the sumif function to check if a value in one cell is
greater then a certain value, e.g.:
=SUMIF(A1:A3,"0",B1:B3)

I, however want to check if one cells value is greater then the sum of a
cellrange, e.g.:
=SUMIF(A1:A3,"=C1:C3-Sum(D1:E3)", B1:B3)

I could of course use an empty column and calculate the difference (e.g.
C1-sum(D1:E1)) and then use the SUMIF formula to check however the value
in that cell is less or greater then 0 but I would rather acomplish this
with one formula.

Is this possible (perhaps using another array formula)?
