SUMIF Formula w/ OR Criteria
I have written the following formula =SUMIF(B5:B21,"partner",D5:D21) but
would like to include an OR criteria =SUMIF(B5:B21,OR("partner","manager"),D5:D21) but it gives me an incorrect value of zero. The first formula above yields the correct answer of "7500". Is my syntax incorrect? Thank you in advance for your assistance. |

One way:
=SUM(SUMIF(B5:B21,{"partner","manager"},D5:D21)) SJT wrote: I have written the following formula =SUMIF(B5:B21,"partner",D5:D21) but would like to include an OR criteria =SUMIF(B5:B21,OR("partner","manager"),D5:D21) but it gives me an incorrect value of zero.

SUMIF Formula w/ OR Criteria
You could simply use
=SUMIF(B5:B21,"partner",D5:D21)+SUMIF(B5:B21,"mana ger",D5:D21) But I reckon there may be another way.......anyone? Rob "SJT" wrote in message ...

SUMIF Formula w/ OR Criteria
It tells excel to treat that as an array.
Put some test data in A1:A2 put this in A3: =a1:a2 select A3, hit F2 and then hit F9. Look at what you see in the formula bar. SJT wrote: Thanks.
