Excel SUMIFS在多个条件下卡住

Question

I need some help with my SUMIFS in excel.

Basically I want to sum values on given conditions. This is the workbook: Workbook available

The data in the workbook is very simple but the structure is the same.

Question :

How can I code a SUMIFS in excel if I need to sum on the conditions of Month and service? Example sum actual customers for service p A in month 201501?

I tried something like this: =SUMIFS(A3:I5="Service";B1:I1="Month";B2:I2="Actual Customers")

Please observe ";" is my local usage in excel It did not work.

Answer 1

You are using the wrong syntax for SUMIFS .

Instead of using a conditional like A3:I5="Service , Excel expects you to first list the range you want to apply the criteria to, and then what the criteria is. In addition you haven't listed the range you want to sum if all your criteria is fulfilled, this comes first in SUMIFS -formula, as you can see if you use the function helper (click fx next to the formula line):

Finally, it seems that not all your ranges are the same size, which I suspect will also create problems, I am not sure about this though. Checking against the documentation on the MSDN page for SUMIFS , Microsoft claims that the ranges do not need to be the same size:

Each criteria_range does not have to be the same size and shape as sum_range. The actual cells that are added are determined by using the top, left cell in that criteria_range as the beginning cell, and then including cells that correspond in size and shape to sum_range.

However, as was pointed out in the comments, their support page for SUMIFS claims the opposite, and this is further confirmed by testing in Excel. In short, you should probably stick with having the criteria_ranges being the same size as the sum_range.
