如何用标准求和

Question

First two columns contain data. In the third column I put on the criteria to sum by. For example, when I put A, B, D in the third column, I want to sum values in the second column when values in the first column are AB or D; that is 1+2+4+5+7. When I put A, B in the third column, I get 1+2+5, so on so forth. How to do it in a sumif function (or other sum functions)? Thanks.

Answer 1

If you need to sum all values satisfying any one criteria from all criterias , you can use following formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(NOT(ISNA(MATCH(A:A,D1:D3,0)))*1,B:B)

where A:A contains your data with "A", "B", "C", "D" and so on, B:B contains corresponding numbers, and D1:D3 contains your search criterias, ig "A" and "B" and "D".

PS if you don't know exact count of criterias in column D , you can change D1:D3 to D1:D100 or D:D . But D:D will make your formula a little slower..

Answer 2

Assuming that your leftmost column pictured above is column A and the first row pictured is row 1, your formula in E1 should be

=SUMIF(A:A,D1,B:B)

An alternate approach would be to use a pivot table.
