Default sumif

Consider SUMPRODUCT instead:

Here is some data:

1 happy
2 happy
3 happy
4 happy
5 happy
6 happy
7 happy
8 happy
9 happy
10 happy
11 happy
12 happy
13 happy
14 happy
15 sad
16 sad
17 sad
18 sad
19 sad
20 sad

and we want the sum of column A if:
1. the value in A is greater than 10
2. the value in column B is happy

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A2010)*(B1:B20="happy"),A1:A20)
which will return 50

Hi!
I would liek to use sumif but use criteria from 2 columns instead of one. i
tried to use the conditional sum wizard in the add-ins but when I change
something it does not seem to work. Any ideas?
Thank you
