    Sumif vs Sumif - same ranges different results!

    Trying to speed up my workbook after reading that sumifs are much quicker than sumproduct, however......

    SUMIF works - I get the correct result
    SUMIFS gives me a #VALUE error.

    As I've only used a single condition in my SUMIFS formula, isn't it exactly the same as the SUMIF?

    No, they don't work exactly the same..

    It's likely that the 2 named ranges are not of the same dimensions.
    SUMIF allows that, SUMIFS does not.

    SUMIFS will only work on 1 dimensional ranges (single rows/columns).

    That's not quite true...
    Each range must be equal dimension, but they can be 2D dimesions, as long as they are both the same.

    Must have been having a real off day yesterday - the differing range size was the reason I went for sumproduct in the first place.

    And I couldn't even get the title of this thread right sumif vs sumif? Now that fixture has draw written all over it!

    Thanks guys
