I want to do a sumif but using 2 criterias which appear in 2 separate columns
within the worksheet. a yes 15000 a no 16000 a yes 20000 a no 30000 b yes 40000 b yes 50000 In the table above, I need to know the sum of column c if I choose a criteria found in column a and column b together. Can you help? Thanks Rita |

If the data is in A1:C6, for example, the following will sum the data in C where A="b" and B="yes" =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A6="b"),--(B1:B6="yes"),(C1:C6)) -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England HIS "rita" wrote in message ...

Thank you boys and it worked a treat, but can you explain why you inserted
"--" in the formula? What is its function in the array?

You've got the best answers, but if you ever get stuck in the future with
something similar, here is another option... Go to Tools | Add-Ins, and select "Conditional Sum Wizard." Click ok. Then go to Tools | Conditional Sum.. This will walk you thru setting up your equation. Excel's Conditional Sum wizard prefers to use SUM & IF as an array formula. (Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter). The wizard will do this for you. =SUM(IF(Col_A="a",IF(Col_B="yes",Col_C,0),0)) You can remove the ending 0's if you wish. =SUM(IF(Col_A="a",IF(Col_B="yes",Col_C))) It's best to have column headings, but if not, you can go back and edit your equation and re-enter the formula (with Ctrl+Shift+Enter). Again, just another option if you get stuck. -- Dana DeLouis Win XP & Office 2003 "rita" wrote in message ...
