Yes, it does! My thanks for your persistence!

As Glen points out the name SUMPRODUCT is misleading you.
We are multiplying the values by 1 if we want them and by 0 if we do not
want them
Try the formal on some simple data; It does work, I tried it!

Bernard, I did give this a try but am thinking this is not really doing
what
I need it to do because I'm not trying to sum products.

To explain, I have a number of lines containing account codes (col C6:C58)
and budgeted amounts (col E6:E58).

In a single cell, I need to sum the budgeted amounts of all accounts that
have codes that fall between 5100 and 5999, OR if they are accounts 5007
or
5008.

Thanks!

let's do it in two stages
To get the ones for C between 5100 and 5999
=SUMPRODUCT( (C8:C14=5100)*(C8:C14<=5999), E8:E14)
To get the ones for C = 5007 or 5008
=SUMPRODUCT( (C8:C14=5007)+(C8:C14=5008), E8:E14)
or
=SUMPRODUCT( (C8:C14={5007,5008})* E8:E14)

We can use both in
=SUMPRODUCT( (C8:C14=5100)*(C8:C14<=5999), E8:E14) + SUMPRODUCT(
(C8:C14={5007,5008})* E8:E14)
or
=SUMPRODUCT( (C8:C14=5100)*(C8:C14<=5999)+ (C8:C14={5007,5008})* E8:E14)


Note I used a smaller test range: change 14 to 56 everywhere

Hi - I'm trying to use the "sumif" function, but have a large number of
variables to check for. What I'd like to do is:

=sumif(C8:C56,OR(between(5100,5999),5007,5008),E8: E56)

but this does not work (I'm assuming because the "between" function is
not
valid.

Is there another way to do this?

Thanks!
