SUMIF(A1:A10,">20")

SUMIF(A1:A10,"Paid",B1:B10)

Syntax

SUMIF(range, criterion, [sum_range])

• range - The range which is tested against criterion.

• criterion - The pattern or test to apply to range.

  • If range contains text to check against, criterion must be a string. criterion can contain wildcards including ? to match any single character or * to match zero or more contiguous characters. To match an actual question mark or asterisk, prefix the character with the tilde (~) character (i.e. ~? and ~*). A string criterion must be enclosed in quotation marks. Each cell in range is then checked against criterion for equality (or match, if wildcards are used).

  • If range contains numbers to check against, criterion may be either a string or a number. If a number is provided, each cell in range is checked for equality with criterion. Otherwise, criterion may be a string containing a number (which also checks for equality), or a number prefixed with any of the following operators: = (checks for equality), > (checks that the range cell value is greater than the criterion value), or < (checks that the range cell value is less than the criterion value)

• sum_range - The range to be summed, if different from range.

Notes

• SUMIF can only perform conditional sums with a single criterion. To use multiple criteria, use the database function DSUM.
