Default dividng numbers using the sumif function

Hi Mike, I responded earlier, but don't see my reply. Anyway, I tried your
formula's and they didn't work, because I need to use the function 'SumIf'
with both sets of numbers like: -=sumif Products B3:B5 divided by sumif
Products B10:B15. The sum feature doesn't work because all of the cells are
filled with formulas linking to other workbooks. Make sense?

Hi,

I'm not quite sure what you mean, do either of these give the answer you want

=SUM(B3:B12)/SUM(Products!B4:B16)

or

=SUM(B3:B12)/COUNT(Products!B4:B16)

I need help in setting up a simple formula. I have 2 worksheet tabs -my
formula
is =Sumif(B3:B12)/Products(B4:b16) - in others I want to add numbers in
cells B3:B12 (tab 1) and divide the total by numbers in 2nd worksheet tab
B4:B16 using the sumif function since all cells already have formulas in
them. This is probably simple, but I don't grasp formulas very well, too
new. thanks,
