What is the SUMIF Function?
The SUMIF function in Excel is designed to sum up values in a range that satisfy a given condition. This function is incredibly useful for filtering data dynamically, helping you quickly derive meaningful insights from large datasets.
=SUMIF(range, criteria, [sum_range])Â
range: The range of cells that you want to apply the criteria to.
criteria: The condition or criteria that define which cells to sum. This can be a number, text, expression, or even a cell reference.
[sum_range]: (Optional) The actual cells to sum. If omitted, Excel sums the cells in the range.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Incorrect Range: Ensure the range and sum_range are of the same size if used.
Criteria Format: Be mindful of how criteria are formatted, especially with text and dates.
Omitting Sum Range: If you omit the sum_range, Excel sums the cells in the range parameter, which may not always be your intention.
