The formula as written is an array formula. You probably didn't enter it

Array formulas are entered differently than a regular formula. After you
type in a regular formula you hit the ENTER key. With an array formula
you
*must* use a combination of keys. Those keys are the CTRL key, the SHIFT
key
and the ENTER key. That is, hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
then hit the ENTER key.

When done properly Excel will enclose the formulas in the brackets. You
can't just type these brackets in, you *must* use the key combo. Also,
anytime you edit an array formula it *must* be re-entered as an array
using
the key combo.

You can write it like this:

=SUM(IF(G17:G31="Y",$C17:$C31*80))

However, you can also do this with a non-array formula (just hit ENTER):

=SUMIF(G17:G31,"Y",C17:C31)*80

Hi,

I'm trying to put up this formula:

=SUM(IF((G17:G31="Y"),($C17:$C31*80),0))

so that it multiplies with 80 and then sums all those values C17
through
C31
for which values of G17 through G31 are Y.

But this gives me a value error in excel. When I remove the range and
enter
a single cell, it works fine. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
