Why does a sumif use double speech marks
Hello,
I have created a sumif formulas as follows: =SUMIF(E10:E21,"10",E10:E21) My question is why do you have to have the double speech marks around the 10? This doesn't seem to be needed in other formulas. Any ideas out there? Thanks. |

Why does a sumif use double speech marks
Best I can give you is that MS programmed it that way. It's nothing you're
doing wrong. From the help: SUMIF(range,criteria,sum_range) Range is the range of cells you want evaluated. Criteria is the criteria in the form of a number, expression, or text that defines which cells will be added. For example, criteria can be expressed as 32, "32", "32", "apples". -- Ken Puls www.officearticles.com "owl37" wrote in message ...
