SUMIF or SUMPRODUCT?

[EricB]

The following formula is returning a ‘0’ outcome:

when using SUMIF I get the desired result but is missing one criteria range ('TB SAICMB'!B2:B1000="'Computer Sales"):

Can I adapt the SUMIF formula to include this range or am I going wring in
my SUMPRODUCT layout?

D21000 can't equal both "Admin" and "Tech".

Hi,

There are 2 things. You have an apostrophe before the C in Computer sales,
is that a typo. More importantly you are looking for "Admin" and "Tech" in
column D and it won't be both of those so every row will evaluate as zero.
What are you actually looking for in column D?

The problem is here:

--('TB SAICMB'!D21000="Admin"),--('TB SAICMB'!D21000="Tech")

You're testing the same range for 2 different conditions. Since the same
range can't be both conditions at the same time you need to craft the
expression to say: D21000 = Admin or Tech.

Try it like this (I'm leaving out the sheet name so be sure to add it):

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B2:B1000="'Computer
Sales"),(D21000="Admin")+(D21000="Tech"),E2:E1000)

Hi Mike H

1) The apostrophe can be considered a typo. I'm re-writing a spreadsheet and
names will be corrected accordingly.
2) It is an either/or situation. In column ‘D’ I need to count values under
“Admin and/or Techâ€. Thus a This + That situation.

I was trying to avoid a situation where I need to us +PLUS: =SUMIF('TB
SAICMB'!B2:B1000,â€Adminâ€,'TB SAICMB'!E2:E1000)+SUMIF('TB
SAICMB'!B2:B1000,â€Techâ€,'TB SAICMB'!E2:E1000)

At present I’m counting under ‘B’, “Computer Sales†– Column ‘D’ reflects
division, ‘Admin’, ‘Tech’, etc. I need to restrict counting to the specifics
in ‘D’ but multiple departments are possible as in this case.

Hope this clarifies.

Biff (T.Valko) has shown you how to do it with Sumproduct in his response.

Hello,

In this case a simple addition is ok but generally, if the OR criteria
can both be TRUE, wrap them with SIGN:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B2:B1000="'Computer
Sales"),SIGN((D21000="Admin")+(D21000="Tech")),E2:E1000)

How can one cell contain *both* separate entries at the same time?

Hello Biff,

I referred to OR criteria, not the same cells. If, for example, you
would need a logical OR on M1:M100 (Y indicating male persons) and on
B1:B100 (Y indicating blonde hair) and if you need to count persons
who are male OR blonde then you don't want to double count blonde AND
male persons.

So =SUMPRODUCT(("Y"=B1:B100)+("Y"=M1:M100)) would be wrong but
=SUMPRODUCT(SIGN(("Y"=B1:B100)+("Y"=M1:M100))) would be ok.

Ok, I see what you meant.
