Thumbs up Answer: how to sumif in excel with a not equal criteria

Hi there! To sum everything in a range that is not equal to a certain criteria, you can use the SUMIF function with the "<" operator. Here are the steps to do it:
  1. Select a cell where you want to display the result of the formula.
  2. Type the following formula:
    Formula:
    =SUMIF(range,"<apple",sum_range
    - Replace "range" with the range of cells that contains the criteria you want to exclude (in this case, "apple").
    - Replace "sum_range" with the range of cells that you want to sum (in this case, "10", "10", and "10").
    - Note that the "<" operator means "not equal to".
  3. Press Enter to calculate the formula.

For example, if your data is in cells A1:C1, and you want to sum everything that is not equal to "apple", you can use the following formula:
Formula:
=SUMIF(A1:C1,"<apple",A2:C2
