I have this table and want to use COUNTIF to find out:
If column A is Either Toyota Corolla OR Toyota Yaris, then sum up column B

A B

Toyota Corolla 15 000
Toyota Yaris 5 000
Volvo 20 000
Saab 10 000
Toyota Yaris 10 000
So I want to get the sum of 30 000.

=SUMIF(A:A,"Toyota *",B:B)

Apart from just matching cells starting with "Toyota", you could try this:

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5={"Toyota Corolla","Toyota Yaris"})*B1:B5)

or this
=SUMIF(A1:A5,"*Corolla",B1:B5)+SUMIF(A1:A5,"*Yaris ",B1:B5)

Does that help?

Thanks all of you, it's working.

Try something like this:

With your data list in A1:E5

F2: =INDEX($A$1:$E$1,1,MATCH(MAX(B2:E2),A2:E2,0))

Is that something you can work with?

Obviously, this post has nothing to do with THIS topic :/
