SUMIF function problem

[Zorba]

I have used this formula in the past (last month) without problems - now I
have copied the columns and tried to alter the formula - it keeps telling me
"you've entered too few arguments". My formula was SUMIF (AA3:AA180 "y"
X3:X180) - all I am trying to do is to change the 180 to 183 in AA and X. I
have tried setting the function using the wizard and the formula is exactly
the same and still gives the same error message. Please help.

Hi,

You appear to be missing the commas

=SUMIF(AA3:AA183,"y", X3:X183)

=SUMIF (AA3:AA183,"y",X3:X183)

Thanks for the responses - unfortunately the comma doesn't make a difference
- and that's why I never showed it in my formula. Is it possible that excel
has been corrupted in some wasy?

Perhaps your Windows regional settings have a semi-colon as the list
separator, rather than a comma?

Thanks a million David - I checked my regional settings and the comma was
missing - I changed it back and the function is working again.

Glad to hear that it worked.
