adding summed cells in a conditional sumif
I would like the sumif statment to add the values in cells that are generated
by the sum formula. I am using the following conditional if statement: =SUM(IF($A$27:$A$38=P27,$L$27:$L$38,0) Cells in column L add up other cells in column K to come up with a value. However, the sumif statement does not give me the correct answer. It gives me the total of that column instead of adding the corresponding values in the cell that match cell P27. P L Value of cell L column A28 is 2003 2003 =sum(k1:k5) 50 2003 =sum(k8:k17) 80 2004 =sum(k18:k22) 20 Instead of giving me an answer of 130 I get 150. |
It works now. I forgot the cntrl+shift+enter when I edited the formula. Duh!

It's nothing wrong with the formula per se although it is probably better to
use =SUMPRODUCT(--($A$27:$A$38=P27),$L$27:$L$38) which you can enter normally, regardless it must be something wrong with your criteria your table makes no sense. what is in A27:A38? -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please) "Tat" wrote in message ...

And how about just plain old =sumif()

Column A includes years that the critiria in P has to match.
Thanks for your answer.

That works fine too. Thanks
