Excel formula to sum conditionally

Question

Hi guys,

A simple one I guess. I want a formula that sum the amount of time shown at I11, L11, O11, etc. except if we see "Break Offshore" at the cell below. My function is already shown at the function display but for some reason is not working. Regards, Carlos

Answer 1

You need to specify a range in SUMIF , so if "Break offshore" can't occur in other columns try using this formula

=SUMIF(I11:X11,"<>Break Offshore",I10:X10)

If that doesn't work you can use SUMIFS and include an extra criteria to sum only for relevant columns, ie

=SUMIFS(I10:X10,I11:X11,"<>Break Offshore",I$9:X$9,"T*")

Note that SUMIFS has a different order to SUMIF with the "sum range" first
