    SUMIFS - Multiple Criteria within a single critera

    Hey all,

    Running into issues with sumifs on multiple criteria.

    Trying to do it all within one single sumifs formula instead of having a single sumifs formula for each different string of the criteria.

    For example, assume column A has the status of a project (open, closed, in progress), column B has the product type (product1, product2), and column C has the office assigned to (New York, California) and column D is total revenue.

    This formula does not work for, and I do not understand why...=sum(sumifs($D:$D,$A:$A,{"Open","Closed","In Progress"},$B:$B,{"product1","product2"},$C:$C,{"New York","California"}))...anything I am missing here as to why it wouldn't be working?

    Welcome to the forum.

    Untested, but you could try this:

    =SUM(SUMIFS($D:$D,$A:$A,{"Open","Closed","In Progress"},$B:$B,{"product1","product2"},$C:$C,{"New York","California"}))

    Re: SUMIFS - Multiple Criteria within a single critera

    you might want to try sum in front of it, like... ...=sum(sumifs($D:$D,$A:$A,{"Open","Closed","In Progress"},$B:$B,{"product1";"product2"},$C:$C,{"New York";"California"}))
    you may also have to add semicolons to the second and third sets.

    Re: SUMIFS - Multiple Criteria within a single critera

    Thanks - I did have the sum( in front of sumifs(.

    Interesting on the semi-colons on criteria after the first. Will try it out. Why would there be a distinction in the format between the 1st set of criteria and the ones following it?

    Re: SUMIFS - Multiple Criteria within a single critera

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    I can't help thinking that you might be better off using a Pivot Table.

    But what permuations are you tring to sum. It's not clear to me. Upload a workbook with some manually calculated results.

    Re: SUMIFS - Multiple Criteria within a single critera

    I'm not sure if the attachment is coming through...but hopefully you can see attached.

    With these formulas and criteria, I should (I thought at least) be able to tie back to the sum total of the example revenue. Yes, for something like this, I could use a pivot table but this is obviously a very simple example...what I need this for goes far beyond a pivot table so that won't make sense

    Any thoughts as to what is wrong here?

    Re: SUMIFS - Multiple Criteria within a single critera

    {"In Progress","Open","Closed"} and {"Product1";"Product2"} give 2 dimensions array with 3x2 = 6 AND condition

    Excel and do only support 2 dimensions so, more or condition need to find other ways.

    1. Normal plus
    =SUM(SUMIFS('data set'!$D:$D,'data set'!$A:$A,{"In Progress","Open","Closed"},'data set'!$B:$B,{"Product1";"Product2"},'data set'!$C:$C,"New York"))
    +SUM(SUMIFS('data set'!$D:$D,'data set'!$A:$A,{"In Progress","Open","Closed"},'data set'!$B:$B,{"Product1";"Product2"},'data set'!$C:$C,"California"))

    2. Wildcard
    =SUM(SUMIFS('data set'!$D:$D,'data set'!$A:$A,{"In Progress","Open","Closed"},'data set'!$B:$B,"Product*",'data set'!$C:$C,{"New York";"California"}))

    Re: SUMIFS - Multiple Criteria within a single critera

    Understood...I think. Does it matter to be separated by comma vs. semi colon as suggested above?

    Re: SUMIFS - Multiple Criteria within a single critera

    Comma is for different column, semicolon for different row. to get 2 dimension 1 array must seperate by comma, the other must seperate by semicolon.
