SUMIFS

Adds up values that meet several conditions at once.

Syntax

SUMIFS(sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, ...)

Math Functions.

A worked example

=SUMIFS(B2:B9,C2:C9,"East",D2:D9,"Oct")

Returns 9,325

Totals October orders from the East region only.

Where it goes wrong

SUMIFS reverses SUMIF's argument order — the sum range comes FIRST. Getting this backwards is the single most common mistake with it.

Practise SUMIFS

Knowing what a function does and being able to write it from memory are different skills. These close the gap.
