Default SumIf Function

And all I was saying is that you could have modified this to your need and
tried it.
=sumproduct((a2:a22="Jay")*(b2:b22=1))
=sumproduct((a2:a22="corporate")*(b2:b22="zone4")* d2:d22)


More specifically, I'm saying Add the numbers in the range D2:D22 if A2:A22
="Corporate" and If B2:B22 ="Zone4" I don't understand the * reference.

You know .......All it took was for someone to politely explain it to me.
I'm not used to thinking in terms of "adding" or "multiplying" TRUE and
FALSE. Thanks for your concern, Don.

That's brilliant! I never looked at it that way (True =1, False =0).
Pretty
obvious but I wasn't aware you could actually coerce the numeric value!
Thank you Roger!

Hi

Then use
=sumproduct((a2:a22="Corporate")*(b2:b22="Zone4")* d2:d22)

a2:a22 will return True or False
b2:b22 will return True or False

The Multiplication will coerce the True's to 1's and the False's to
0's,
hence
1 x 0 x 100 =0
1 x 1 x 150=150
0 x 1 x 120 =0

Sumproduct then just sums the results of these array multiplication to
give your result

to sum c based on that criteria

=sumproduct((a2:a22="Jay")*(b2:b22=1)*c2:c22)
note that the ranges must be the same size and not complete columns

I'm trying to use the SumIf Function (as I understand its use)
and
I keep
running into the same problems -- in many cases I have more than
one
criterion for addind a specific cell. Is there a way to modify
SumIf to
allow for multiple criteria? I try to do it in the insert
function
box
and
it gets spit back out at me. Any ideas?
