Excel 2007 – How to get the SUM value in Multiple Criteria

December 28, 2009 · Posted in Ms Office, Windows 

How do I get to sum the values in a range that meet criteria that you specify?

We can use  SUMIF() formula to do that. Besides, we also can use SUMIF() worksheet function for the following situations:

  • When you want to return a sum for a single criteria (for example, a single IF condition)
  • When you want to use multiple criteria and return the sum to multiple cells

Syntax:
SUMIF(range, criteria, [sum_range])

Example:

sumif

  • The table above has shown the total exam marks from 1st class students, in which Grade (in column B) and Marks (in column C) are clearly stated.
  • By using ‘SUMIF’ formula, I am able to get the total marks of those students that scored A :

Formula:  =SUMIF(B2:B11,”A”,C3:C11)

The results are shown in the below table.

sumif
