SUMIFS Function in Excel

Sum Data that Meet Specified Criteria

SUMIFS adds values whose corresponding entries satisfy all specified criteria pairs.

Quick Example

=SUMIFS(Sum Range, Criteria Range 1, Criteria 1, ...)

  • Sum Range: The corresponding cell that is to be summed, if the criteria is true
  • Criteria Range 1: Range of cells that houses the (first) criteria
  • Criteria 1: The (first) criteria to be flagged

These conditional functions evaluate criteria when calculating their result.

  • Other examples include: COUNTIFS, AVERAGEIFS, MAXIFS, and MINIFS

Use COUNTIFS or SUMIFS when you need one or more criteria pairs. COUNTIF and SUMIF remain valid for single-condition tasks; check the argument order for the function you choose.
