Hi,

I apologise, I misunderstood your question. You may also try to use the
DSUM function for this.

Hi, and thanks for your time. I´m familiar with the sumif function, the
problem seems to be the multiple criteria that exists in the range. I need
to
base the sumif on the range instead of hardcoding the criteria (easy).

Hi,

You can use SUMIF() since you want to sum based in one criteria. Please
read up on the SUMIF() function in the Help menu - Good example there.

Thanks for a quick reply. However, it did not solve my problem. I´m
using
excel 2007 (separates criteria with ';'), should have mentioned that,
and
maybe i should explain further;

As i have understood it, the Range refers to the cells I want
evaluated,
criteria should be any of the values in ny named range, and Sum_range
refers
to the cells to sum if criteria is met?

Can i not use sumif?

Hi,

Please correct for the following:

1. Replace ; with ,
2. Please check the syntax - it should be
=sumif(range,criteria,sum_range).
3. Looks like the range should be People. Please ensure that People
is
only
1 column wide.

Hi,

hopefully i´m not in the wrong place to ask this.

I have a worksheet with a named range (people) currently 6 values
there,
one
column with lots of different values (Col D), and another column
with
numbers
(Col G). What i want to do is to sum values in Col G based on if Col
D
contains any of the values in the named range "People".

tried SUMIF(D:D;people;G:G) and such, but i cant figure it out.

I´m probably just too stupid to see the obvious, but i really need
help.

Best regards,

Mikael
