Default SUMIF

Can I use a sumif function to sum where the criteria are blank cells? Or is
there an alternative function?

Default SUMIF

Yes

=SUMIF(C1:C10,"",D1:D10)

OR
=SUMIF(C1:C10,0,D1:D10)

Default SUMIF

In say, C1: =SUMIF(A:A,"",B:B)
should work ok

If it returns seemingly "less", that means your data in col A contains
invisible white spaces somewhere. Clean col A up via a TRIM helper/overwrite
or do a Data Text to Columns Fixed Width Finish on col A.
