Sumifs Function in MS Excel

 SUMIFS is a function in Excel that allows you to sum values in a range that meet multiple criteria. Here's how you can use SUMIFS in Excel:

1. Select the cell where you want to display the sum of the values.

2. Type the formula "=SUMIFS(" into the cell.

3. Enter the range of cells that you want to sum in the first argument of the formula.

4. Enter the criteria range for the first criterion in the second argument of the formula.

5. Enter the criterion for the first criterion in the third argument of the formula.

6. Repeat steps 4-5 for each additional criterion.

7. Close the formula with a closing parenthesis ")" and press Enter.

Here's an example:

Let's say you have a table of sales data with columns for Salesperson, Region, and Sales. You want to find the total sales for a specific salesperson in a specific region. You would use the following formula:

=SUMIFS(C2:C10, A2:A10, "John Smith", B2:B10, "North")

You can Also insert the cell reference for criterias like

=SUMIFS(C2:C10, A2:A10, F3, B2:B10, G3)

In this formula, C2:C10 is the range of sales data that you want to sum, A2:A10 is the range of salesperson names, "F3" is the criterion for the first criterion, B2:B10 is the range of regions, and "G3" is the criterion for the second criterion.


Here's how you can use the SUMIFS function in Excel using the function wizard:

1. Select the cell where you want to display the sum of the values.

2. Click on the "fx" button next to the formula bar.

3. In the "Insert Function" dialog box, type "SUMIFS" in the search box or select it from the list of suggested functions.

4. Click on "OK".

5. In the "Function Arguments" dialog box, enter the range of cells that you want to sum in the "Sum_range" argument.


6. Enter the range of cells for the first criterion in the "Criteria_range1" argument.


7. Enter the criterion for the first criterion in the "Criteria1" argument.


Repeat steps 6-7 for each additional criterion.


Click on "OK" to close the dialog box and insert the formula into the cell.
