I have 6 numbers in cells a1..a6. Some are positive and some are negative.
I would like to total up only the numbers that are 20000 or <-20000.
This formula works for
=SUMIF(A1:A6,""&20000,A1:A6)
but this formula will not work:
=SUMIF(A1:A6,or(""&20000,A1:A6,"<"&-20000),A1:A6 )
What is wrong with the last formula. It always evaluates to 0.

Thanks Will
