Default How do you correct inaccurate sumif totals?

I use the sumif functions quite a bit, however, today I am getting an
inaccurate total on my sumif formula. What is drving this? Is the file size a
problem?

Hardly, probably erroneous data or formula.

Post your formula and explain the data layout

We are experts at mindreading, but your brain is just not putting out
enough energy. Perhaps you could describe the nature of the
"inaccuracy". (Duh!)

Let me more specific: SUMIF returns what, and you expect what?

Could the difference be explained by a programming of your own; that
is, the conditional expression is not working the way you expect?

Could the difference be explained by rounding in the __display__ of
intermediate values (those cells being summed), but the underlying
values are different?

The latter is a very common programming mistake (of the user's).
There are several ways to work around it.

But before I leap into problem-solving mode, it would be nice to know
what the problem is.
