Why does Excels SUMIF formula consider cells with text data such as:
2.1 and 2.10 as equal (it sums their values) when used in the range
and criteria?


Hi Mark,

because Excel treat as number text that can be treated as number, when you
use it in calculation.

So if you use a number formatted as text in a calculation, it will be
treated as a number.

Hope I helped you.


Thanks in advance for your feedback.
