SUMIF (embedded if???)

I need help with a sumif. This is what i have: Column B (range 1:5) has
numbers. I would like a formula to say if the numbers are greater than 256,
then add the number greater than 256 minus 256 and then produce a sum of the
"excess".

A B
1 5
2 10
3 300
4 258
5 500
6
7 **** = this should come up with 290 (300-256=44;
500-256=244;258- 256=2

**so far i have =sumif(B1:B5,"256",

Thanks for your help in advance.

Try this:

=SUMIF(B1:B5,"256")-(COUNTIF(B1:B5,"256")*256)
