How to use SUMIF function in Excel with formula examples

This tutorial explains the Excel SUMIF function in plain English. The main focus is on real-life formula examples with all kinds of criteria including text, numbers, dates, wildcards, blanks and non-blanks.

Microsoft Excel has a handful of functions to summarize large data sets for reports and analyses. One of the most useful functions that can help you make sense of an incomprehensible set of diverse data is SUMIF. Instead of adding up all numbers in a range, it lets you sum only those values that meet your criteria.

So, whenever your task requires conditional sum in Excel, the SUMIF function is what you need. A good thing is that the function is available in all versions, from Excel 2000 through Excel 365. Another great thing is that once you've learned SUMIF, it will take you very little effort to master other "IF" functions such as SUMIFS, COUNTIF, COUNTIFS, AVERAGEIF, etc.

SUMIF in Excel - syntax and basic uses

The SUMIF function, also known as Excel conditional sum, is used to add up cell values based on a certain condition.

The function is available in Excel 365, Excel 2021, Excel 2019, Excel 2016, Excel 2013, Excel 2010, Excel 2007, and lower.

The syntax is as follows:

SUMIF(range, criteria, [sum_range])

As you see, the SUMIF function has 3 arguments - first 2 are required and the last one is optional.

  • Range (required) - the range of cells to be evaluated by criteria.
  • Criteria (required) - the condition that must be met. It may be supplied in the form of a number, text, date, logical expression, a cell reference, or another Excel function. For example, you can enter the criteria such as "5", "cherries", "10/25/2014", "<5", etc.
  • Sum_range (optional) - the range to sum if the condition is met. If omitted, then range is summed.

Note. Please pay attention that any text criteria or criteria containing logical operators must be enclosed in double quotation marks, e.g. "apples", ">10". Cell references should be used without the quotation marks, otherwise they would be treated as text strings.

Basic SUMIF formula

To better understand the SUMIF syntax, consider the following example. Suppose you have a list of products in column A, regions in column B, and sales amounts in column C. Your goal is to get a total of sales for a specific region, say North. To have it done, let's build an Excel SUMIF formula in its simplest form.

You start with defining the following arguments:

  • Range - a list of regions (B2:B10).
  • Criteria - "North" or a cell containing the region of interest (F1).
  • Sum_range - the sales amounts to be added up (C2:C10).

Putting the arguments together, we get the following formula:

=SUMIF(B2:B10, "north", C2:C10)

or

=SUMIF(B2:B10, F1, C2:C10)

Both formulas only sum sales in the North region:
Using SUMIF function in Excel

Note. The sum_range parameter actually defines only the upper leftmost cell of the range to be summed. The remaining area is defined by the dimensions of the range argument. In practice, this means that sum_range argument does not necessarily have to be of the same size as range argument, i. e. it may have a different number of rows and columns. However, the top left cell must always be the right one. For example, in the above formula, you can supply C2, or C2:C4, or even C2:C100 as the sum_range argument, and the result will still be correct. However, the best practice is to provide equally sized range and sum_range.

Note. The SUMIF function is case-insensitive by nature. However, it is possible to force it to recognize the text case. For full details, please see Case-sensitive SUMIF in Excel.

How to use SUMIF in Excel - formula examples

Hopefully, the above example has helped you gain some basic understanding of how the function works. Below you will find a few more formulas that demonstrate how to use SUMIF in Excel with various criteria.

SUMIF greater than or less than

To sum numbers greater than or less than a particular value, configure the SUMIF criteria with one of the following logical operators:

  • Greater than (>)
  • Greater than or equal to (>=)
  • Less than (<)
  • Less than or equal to (<=)

In the table below, supposing you wish to add up the sales numbers for the items that ship in 3 or more days. To express this condition, put a comparison operator (>) before the number and surround the construction in double quotes:

=SUMIF(C2:C10, ">3", B2:B10)

If the target number is in another cell, say F1, concatenate the logical operator and cell reference:

=SUMIF(C2:C10, ">"&F1, B2:B10)
SUM IF greater than

In a similar manner, you can sum values smaller than a given number. For this, use the less than (<) operator:

=SUMIF(C2:C10, "<3", B2:B10)

SUM IF equal to

A SUMIF formula with the "equal to" criteria works for both numbers and text. In such criteria, the equals sign is not actually required.

For instance, to find a total of the items that ship in 3 days, either of the below formulas will do:

=SUMIF(C2:C10, 3, B2:B10)

or

=SUMIF(C2:C10, "=3", B2:B10)

To sum if equal to cell, supply a cell reference for criteria:

=SUMIF(C2:C10, F1, B2:B10)

Where B2:B10 are the amounts, C2:C10 is the shipment duration, and F1 is the desired delivery time.
SUM IF equal to cell

Likewise, you can use the "equal to" criteria with text values. For instance, to add up the Apples amounts, choose any of the formulas below:

=SUMIF(A2:A10, "apples", B2:B10)

=SUMIF(A2:A10, "=apples", B2:B10)

=SUMIF(A2:A10, F1, B2:B10)

Where A2:A10 is the list of items to compare against the value in F1.
SUM IF equal to text

The above formulas imply that the criterion matches the entire cell contents. Consequently, the SUMIF function will add up Apples sales but not, say, Green Apples. To sum partial matches, construct the "if cell contains" criteria like in this SUMIF wildcard formula.

Note. Please pay attention that, in Excel SUMIF formulas, a comparison or equals operator should always be enclosed in double quotes, whether used on its own or together with a number or text.

SUM IF not equal to

To build the "not equal to" criteria, use the "<>" logical operator.

When a value, either text or number, is hardcoded in the criteria, remember to surround the entire construction with double quotes.

For example, to sum the amounts with shipment other than 3 days, the formula goes as follows:

=SUMIF(C2:C10, "<>3", B2:B10)

To find a total of all the items except Apples, the formula is:

=SUMIF(A2:A10, "<>apples", B2:B10)

When the criterion is in another cell, concatenate the "not equal to" operator and a cell reference like this:

=SUMIF(A2:A10, "<>"&F1, B2:B10)
SUM IF not equal to

SUM IF blank

This example shows how to sum cells in one column if a corresponding cell in another column is blank. There are two formulas to fulfill the task. Which one to use depends on your interpretation of a "blank cell".

If "blank" means cells that contain absolutely nothing (no formula, no zero-length string returned by some other function), then use "=" for criteria. For example:

=SUMIF(B2:B10, "=", C2:D10)

If "blank" includes empty strings (for example, cells with a formula like =""), then use "" for criteria:

=SUMIF(B2:B10, "", C2:D10)

Both formulas return a total of sales for undefined regions, i.e. where a cell in column B is blank:
SUM IF blank

SUM IF not blank

To make "if cell is not blank then sum" kind of formula, use "<>" as the criteria. This will add up all cells that contain anything in them, including zero-length strings.

For instance, here's how you can sum sales for all the regions, i.e. where column B is not blank:

=SUMIF(B2:B10, "<>", C2:D10)
SUM IF not blank

Excel SUMIF with text criteria

When adding up numbers in one column based on text values in another column, it's important to differentiate between exact and partial match.

Criteria Formula Example Description
Sum if equal to Exact match:
=SUMIF(A2:A8, "bananas", C2:C8)
Sum values in cells C2:C8 if a cell in column A in the same row contains exactly the word "bananas" and no other words or characters. Cells containing "green bananas", "bananas green", or "bananas!" are not included.
Sum if cell contains Partial match:
=SUMIF(A2:A8, "*bananas*", C2:C8)
Sum values in cells C2:C8 if a corresponding cell in column A contains the word "bananas", alone or in combination with any other words. Cells containing "green bananas", "bananas green", or "bananas!" are summed.
Sum if not equal to Exact match:
=SUMIF(A2:A8, "<>bananas", C2:C8)
Sum values in cells C2:C8 if a cell in column A contains any value other than "bananas". If a cell contains "bananas" together with some other words or characters like "yellow bananas" or "bananas yellow", such cells are summed.
Sum if cell does not contain Partial match:
=SUMIF(A2:A8, "<>*bananas*", C2:C8)
Sum values in cells C2:C8 if a cell in column A does not contain the word "bananas", alone or in combination with any other words. Cells containing "yellow bananas" or "bananas yellow" are not summed.

For real-life formula examples, please check out Sum if equal to and Sum if not equal to.

In the next section, we'll take a closer look at SUMIF formulas with partial match.

SUMIF formulas with wildcard characters

To conditionally sum cells by partial match, include one of the following wildcard characters in your criteria:

  • Question mark (?) to match any single character in a specific position.
  • Asterisk (*) to match any number of characters.

Example 1. Sum values based on partial match

Suppose you wish to total sales for all northern regions, including North, North-East, and North-West. To have it done, put an asterisk right after the word "north":

=SUMIF(B2:B10, "north*", C2:D10)

An asterisk on both sides will also work:

=SUMIF(B2:B10, "*north*", C2:D10)

Alternatively, you can type the region of interest in a predefined cell (F1), and then concatenate a cell reference and a wildcard character enclosed in quotes:

=SUMIF(B2:B10, F1&"*", C2:D10)

Or

=SUMIF(B2:B10, "*"&F1&"*", C2:D10)
SUMIF wildcard formula

Example 2. Sum if cell contains * or ?

To match a literal question mark or asterisk, place a tilde (~) before the character, e.g. "~?" or "~*".

For example, to sum sales for the regions marked with *, use "*~*" for criteria. In this case, the first asterisk is a wildcard and the second one is a literal asterisk character:

=SUMIF(B2:B10, "*~*", C2:D10)

If the criteria (* in our case) is entered in a separate cell, then concatenate a tilde and the cell reference, like this:

=SUMIF(B2:B10, "*"&"~"&F1, C2:D10)
SUMIF formula with an asterisk as criteria

Example 3. Sum if another cell contains text

If your dataset contains various data types and you only want to sum cells corresponding to text values, the following SUMIF formulas will come in handy.

To add up values in cells C2:C8 if a cell in column A contains any text character(s):

=SUMIF(A2:A8,"?*", C2:C8)

To sum values in C2:C8 if a cell in column A contains any text value, including zero length strings:

=SUMIF(A2:A8,"*", C2:C8)

Both of the above formulas ignore non-text values such as numbers, dates, errors, and Booleans.

How to use Excel SUMIF with dates

Using dates as SUMIF criteria is very much like using numbers. The most important thing is to supply a date in the format that Excel understands. If you are not sure which date format is supported and which is not, the DATE function can be a solution.

Assuming you are looking to sum sales for the items delivered before 10-Sep-2020, the criteria can be expressed in this way:

=SUMIF(C2:C10, "<9/10/2020", B2:B10)

or

=SUMIF(C2:C10, "<"&DATE(2020,9,10), B2:B10)

or

=SUMIF(C2:C10, "<"&F1, B2:B10)

Where F1 is the target date.
SUMIF using dates as criteria

To sum cells based on today's date, include the TODAY function in your criteria. For example, that's how you calculate a total of sales with a delivery date prior to today:

=SUMIF(C2:C10, "<"&TODAY(), B2:B10)
Sum cells based on today's date

To sum within a date range, you need to define a smaller and larger date separately. This can be done with the help of the SUMIFS function that supports multiple criteria.

For example, to sum values in column B if a date in column C is between two dates, this is the formula to use:

=SUMIFS(B2:B10, C2:C10, ">="&F1, C2:C10, "<="&G1)

Where B2:B10 is the sum range, C2:C10 is the list of dates to check, F1 is the start date and G1 is the end date.
SUMIF between two dates

More formula examples can be found in SUMIFS with date range as criteria.

How to do SUMIF from another sheet

To conditionally sum data from a different sheet, provide external references for the SUMIF arguments. The easiest way is to start typing a formula, switch to another worksheet and select ranges using the mouse. Excel will insert all the references automatically, without you having to worry about the correct syntax.

For instance, the below formula will add up values in C2:C10 on the Data sheet based on the criteria in B3 on Sheet1:

=SUMIF(Data!B2:B10, B3, Data!C2:C10)
SUMIF from another sheet

How to correctly use cell references in SUMIF criteria

To create a flexible formula, you normally insert all variable parameters in predefined cells instead of "hardcoding" them. With Excel SUMIF, that might be a bit of a challenge.

In the simplest case when summing "if equal to", you simply use a cell reference for criteria. For example:

=SUMIF(C2:C10, F1, B2:B10)

But when a cell reference is used together with a logical operator, the criteria should be provided in the form of a string. So, you use the double quotes ("") to start a text string and ampersand (&) to concatenate and finish the string off. For example:

=SUMIF(C2:C10, ">"&F7, B2:B10)

Please note that the comparison operators are enclosed in quotation marks while the cell references are not.
Correct use of cell references in SUMIF criteria

Why is my SUMIF formula not working?

There could be several reasons why Excel SUMIF is not working for you. Sometimes, your formula does not return what you expect only because the data type in a cell or in some argument isn't suited for the SUMIF function. Below is a list of important things to check.

1. SUMIF supports only one condition

The syntax of the SUMIF function has room for only one condition. To sum with multiple criteria, either use the SUMIFS function (adds up cells that meet all the conditions) or build a SUMIF formula with multiple OR criteria (sums cells that meet any of the conditions).

2. Range and sum_range should be of the same size

For a SUMIF formula to work correctly, the range and sum_range argument should have the same dimensions, otherwise you may get misleading results. The point is that Microsoft Excel does not rely on the user's ability to provide matching ranges, and to avoid possible inconsistency issues, it determines the sum range automatically in this way:

Sum_range defines only the upper left cell of the range that will be summed, the remaining area is determined by the size and shape of the range argument.

Given the above, the below formula will actually sum cells in C2:C10 and not in C2:D10. Why? Because range consists of 1 column and 9 rows, and so does sum_range.

=SUMIF(B2:B10, "north", C2:D10)

In older Excel versions, unequally sized ranges can cause lots of problems. In modern Excel, complex SUMIF formulas where sum_range has less rows and/or columns than range are also capricious. That is why it's a good practice to always define the same number of rows and columns for these two arguments.

3. Range and sum_range should be ranges, not arrays

Though SUMIF can process an array constant in criteria like shown in this example, it does not support arrays in range and sum_range. These two arguments can only be cell ranges.

5. SUMIF criteria syntax

For criteria, the SUMIF function allows using different data types including text, numbers, dates, cell references, logical operators (>, <, =, <>), wildcard characters (?, *, ~) and other functions. The syntax of such criteria is quite specific.

If the criteria argument includes a text value, wildcard character or logical operator followed by text, number or date, enclose the whole criteria in quotation marks. For example:

=SUMIF(B2:B10, "north*", C2:D10)

=SUMIF(C2:D10, ">100")

=SUMIF(B2:B10, "<>north", C2:D10)

=SUMIF(C2:C10, "<=9/10/2020", B2:B10)

When a logical operator is followed by a cell reference or another function, the criteria should be provided in the form of a string. So, you use an ampersand (&) to concatenate a logical operator and a reference or function. For example:

=SUMIF(B2:B10, ">"&F1)

=SUMIF(C2:D10, "<="&TODAY(), B2:B10)

4. SUMIF from another workbook not working

As with many Excel functions, SUMIF can refer to other sheets and workbooks, provided they are currently open.

For example, this formula will work fine as long as Book1 is open:

=SUMIF([Book1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$9,"apples",[Book1.xlsx]Sheet1!$F$2:$F$9)

And it will stop working as soon as Book1 is closed. This happens because the referenced ranges in closed workbooks get de-referenced into arrays. And since arrays are not supported in the range and sum_range arguments, SUMIF throws a #VALUE! error.

6. SUMIF does not recognize text case

By design, SUMIF in Excel is not case-sensitive, meaning it treats uppercase and lowercase letters as the same characters. To make a case-sensitive SUMIF formula, use the SUMPRODUCT function together with EXACT.

That's how to use SUMIF in Excel. Hopefully, our formula examples have given you some good insights. As always, I thank you for reading and hope to see you on our blog next week!

  1. Hi,

    Reg SUMIFS formula.

    My criteria range include numbers but they are in text format. Such as 00001,00002. Since these numbers are coming from ERP system report, format changing is quite difficult. Please let me know a solution for this. Sum range is OK. My formula is not working because criteria range is in text format. please help.

    • Hi Rasika,

      Did you try enclosing those text-numbers in double quotes like usual text values? E.g.:

      =SUMIF(range, "00001", sum_range)

  2. I am trying to match amounts from two different datasets. I have cell A1(GL acct #) B1(trial balance $ amt) and then from an entirely different system with the exact same format A1(GL acct #) B1(trial balance $ amt). These GL accts are mapped to one another, the issue with my sumif is that it will pull the return the same $ for multiple lines. This is because in some cases 4 different GL accts from system 1 map into only 1 GL acct from system two.

    I want my sumif to only return the amount ONCE, as opposed to every time it comes across a match. A nested sumif is my thought, saying something like IF((___ has not yet appeared)then(sumif(yadayadayada))else(return(n/a)) but i cant figure it out.

  3. I have a column of a range of dollars and another column with a range of hours.
    I want to have a function whereby if the dollars fall between two values then it returns of a sum of the corresponding hours.

    I.E if the $ are equal to or between $3000 and $5000 then add the hours in the Hours column which correspond to the dollar rows.

    I am sure this can be done - but how?

    Best wishes

    RJ

    • Hello Rupert,

      You can use the SUMIFS function to sum values in the column with hours when the dollar values fall between two numbers:
      =SUMIFS(B12:B20,A12:A20,">3000",A12:A20,"<5000")

      Here column B is the one with hours and column A contains the range of dollars.

  4. Hi,
    I need an Excel VBA function to look for numbers in range of cells that contain both numbers and text and sum those numbers.

  5. Hi,
    I want to look for any cell that contains number in celles range and sum thos numbers?

  6. Hi, I have three columns, A, B and C:

    Col A
    36
    0
    253

    Col B
    2
    0
    3

    For Column C, I need a formula that will provide the sum of the corresponding cell in Column B, except if the corresponding (row) number in Column A is between 0 and 43. In that case, the number in Column C should be a "1".

    So instead of Column C being 2, 0, 3, it would be 1, 0, 3. Can you possibly help??

    Thank you in advance.

  7. Hi,
    I am trying for a formula where I am summing of cells and it 8th not showing the exact value due to negative value. I don't want to count the cell in negative or #ref!.Please help me with formula.

    • Hello Deepak,

      You can use the following formula to exclude negative numbers:
      =SUMIF(B1:B8,">=0",B1:B8)
      Here B1:B8 is the range of cells you want to sum.

  8. First, let me say thanks for and good work on a well written tutorial. I found this page by googling "excel sumifs not equal to text" and it has been helpful, but I'm not quite to what I need.

    Suppose in your example "Using comparison operators with cell references" that you wished to sum items not in a range instead of not in a single cell - how would the syntax change instead of ""&F1 ? If column G had a list of 3 different fruit, is there a way to do G1:G3?

    I tried a couple things, and they didn't seem to work. I could achieve the desired result by using a sumifs statement with each individual cell called out in an additional criterion, but if I had a list with more than just a few cells, adding several criteria would quickly become tedious. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

    • Hi Greg,

      Thank you so much for your kind words. I am afraid I cannot suggest any way other than a SUMIFS formul such as:
      =SUMIFS($B$2:$B$9, $A$2:$A$9, "<>"&G1, $A$2:$A$9, "<>"&G2, $A$2:$A$9, "<>"&G3)

      • Thank you for the response! I've used SUMIFS to get this affect, but my concern is that if column G has 20 entries, the formula will become rather long (or, because the entire column cannot be excluded, adding an entry will require a change to the formula). After some further research, it looks like I'll be able to get there with a complicated SUMPRODUCT statement including ISNUMBER and MATCH. I will try that for my application and see where it goes.

        Thanks again!

  9. Is this possible?
    I want to sum amounts from criteria contained in more than one column:
    1. Criteria = is equal to a credit card number (This column that contains the credit card number)
    2. Criteria = is equal to “NO” (This column contains [yes or no] and it indicates whether or not the card has been paid)
    3. Sum_Range = I want to include the “No” criteria sums

  10. I have a table with a column for insurance company, a column for type of insurance, and a column for the premium paid for that policy. I'd like to do a conditional total IF Column A = "Erie" AND Column B = "Auto" THEN print the sum of those cells in Column C that meet both criteria. I'm thinking that I need to nest functions, but not sure the correct syntax for excel. Thanks!

    • Hi Shawnda,

      You can use the SUMIFS formula similar to this:
      =SUMIFS(C2:C100, A2:A100, "Erie", B2:B100, "Auto")

  11. Am very grateful 1,000 000 thanks...

  12. I got it... thanks.

  13. I am working on a spreadsheet that tallies up donations (cans) per day but I want to have one cell tally for every 10 cans donated they receive 1 pt.

    What formula should I use?

    Thanks.

  14. Hi,
    Using your given example.

    Is it possible to copy to a cell all the products with the same quantity?

    In order to list every product with quantity higher then X.

    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    José

    • Hi Jose,

      The easiest way to go would be filtering your data by quantity and copying the records you get.

      You can also use the VBA code that one of our developers wrote for you; please follow these steps:
      - Open your Excel file
      - Press Alt+F11 on your keyboard;
      - Double-click the sheet name in the list and paste the code below, but change the reference to your data range and to the cell with the quanity criterion:

      Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
      Range("F1:G10").Select
      Selection.ClearContents
      i = Range("D2").Value
      Range("A1:B10").Select
      Selection.AutoFilter
      ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$B$10").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=i
      Range("A1:B10").Select
      Selection.Copy
      Range("F1").Select
      ActiveSheet.Paste
      Application.CutCopyMode = False
      ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
      Selection.AutoFilter
      End Sub

      - Click Run.

      You can see a sample spreadsheet with this solution here.

  15. Hi,
    This is really very much helpful.

    I have a data of a period of one year(with Date mmddyyyy format). Is it possible to use the SUMIFS function to get the first criteria as month against the date range and one second criteria to get sum of expenses

    Thanking You...
    Tonis

    • Hello Tonis,

      If we understand your task correctly, you can use either SUMIF function:
      =SUMIF(A2:A33,">="&DATE(2015,2,1),B2:B33)-SUMIF(A2:A33,">"&DATE(2015,3,1),B2:B33)

      or SUMIFS function:
      =SUMIFS(B2:B33,A2:A33,">="&DATE(2015,2,1),A2:A33,"<"&DATE(2015,3,1)) Here column B is the one with expenses, and column A contains the dates.

  16. is it possible to use 'sumif'formula to sum the similar colored cells?

  17. Hello

    I want to sum invoice ammounts that our clients owe us. Some are due payments in 90, 60 or 30 days from invoice date. The fields are: client name, invoice date, total invoice amount and invoice state. Example: ACME, $3.567, 12-25-2014, pending.

    Is there any way to have update owed amounts based on today() that should be paid because 90 days since invoice date have occurred?

    Thank you

    • Hello Tomeu,

      You can use Conditional Formatting to highlight the necessary amounts: create a rule and choose to "Use a formula to determine which cells to format", enter the following one:
      =AND(TODAY()-B2>90,D2="pending")
      Here B2 is the invoice date and D2 is the invoice state.

      You can also use a helper column with the following formula to show the amount if both conditions are true:
      =IF(AND(TODAY()-B2>90,D2="pending"),C2)

  18. how can I use SUMIF to add numbers in a cell with out the letter as in 8T, here is my formula so far

    =SUMIF(C10:AG10,"<8",C13:AG13) here is the problem.

    in C10-AG10 I have a number 8 or less, in C13-AG13 I have a number and letter 8T, 7T, 6T, 5T, 4T,... down to 0.5T and I need to add the number but not the "T", how can I modify the SUMIF statement to do this, the cells are formatted Text, I have put the cells to number but if I put in the "T" then it doesn't work, I need the letter to identify what kind of number it is.

    • Hello Mac,

      Try the following array formula (press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to complete it)
      =IFERROR(SUM( --(C10:AG10<8)*(IF(LEN(C13:AG13)>1,LEFT(C13:AG13,LEN(C13:AG13)-1),0))),0)

      If it is not the case, you can send your workbook to support@ablebits.com. We’ll look into the issue and try to help.

  19. i have a table basically column A date, column B cash, column c Check. I need to look at column B & C in same row and sum all based on whether column A's year text only, like 2015.so it would give me a total of all payouts in 2015 only. the date column is formatted 1-jul-2015 with multiple years being listed.

    date cash check
    1-jul-2015 50.00 0
    1/jan-2014 0 100
    1-feb-2105 0 75

    total for 2015 should be 125.00

    • Hello Brian,

      As SUMIF and SUMIFS sum values only if the ranges are of the same size, you can add two SUMIFS:

      =SUMIFS(B1:B3,A1:A3, ">=1/01/2015",A1:A3, "<=12/31/2015")+SUMIFS(C1:C3,A1:A3, ">=1/01/2015",A1:A3, "<=12/31/2015")
      Here B1:B3 is the range with cash amounts, C1:C3 is the range with check amounts, and A1:A3 is the range with dates.

  20. I'm trying figure out what formula to use. I have two columns of numbers. I want a formula that does the following:

    Whatever cell in column A is in the same row as column B, when the sum in column B whichever cell is greater than or equal to the value of another cell). ***SUM(B1:B-whichever cell is greater than or equal to the value of another cell)***

    Thanks!
