Hi, I need assistance with a download that has text in two seperate columns,
referencing general ledger account numbers. I need to reference these
columns in a sumif formula, but can't seem to get it right.
This is an example:
sumif(download worksheet a1:b200,"'610'"&"'00'",downloadworksheet d1:d200)

Any ideas?
Thanks

If you are trying to test for 2 values, you need 2 SUMIFs

=SUMIF('download worksheet'!,A1:B200,"610",'download
worksheet'!D1:D200)+SUMIF('download worksheet'!,A1:B200,"00,'download
worksheet'!D1:D200)

I think you'll have a problem trying to use SumIf() to search *2* columns
(A1:B200).
If "610" and "00" are each in separate columns, (610 in A and 00 in B), then
you'll need 2 "joined" SumIf's:

=SUMIF(A1:A200,"610",D1:D200)+SUMIF(B1:B200,"00",D 1:D200)

If, on the other hand, "610" and "00" are contained in *both* columns, then
you could try something like this:

=SUM(SUMIF(A1:A200,{"610","00"},D1:D200)+SUMIF(B1: B200,{"610","00"},D1:D200)
)

The caveat for both formulas however, is that if "610" and/or "00" are in
the same row, the value in Column D will be totaled *twice*.

Multiple syntax errors, so untested.

Excel's formula parser chokes in the commas immediately after the
exclamation points and the missing double quote after "00.

Which is why the formula above is inadequate. You're also assuming the OP
wants one criterion *OR* the other satisfied. If so, and if they apply
separately to each column, then the OP needs to use something like

=SUMPRODUCT(--((A1:A200="610")+(B1:B200="00")0),D1:D200)

On the other hand, if the OP's '&' in his original attempt should be taken
to mean *BOTH* criteria must be satisfied, then the OP needs to use

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A200="610")*(B1:B200="00"),D1:D200 )
