    There is no sum range, just two criteria ranges.

    =SUMIFS(sumrange,criteriarange,criteria,criteriarange,criteria)

    It appears that you are attempting to sum only the break times that are longer than 15 minutes for a particular employee.
    If that is the case try: =SUMIFS(G2:G320000,D2:D320000,H$3,G2:G320000,">00:15:00")
    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Ali is showing you the syntax for how SUMIFS works. As she pointed out, you dont seem to have a sum range?

    This is the syntax again...
    =sumifs(sum-range, criteria1-range, criteria1, criteria2-range, criteria2...etc)
    where sum-range = the range you want to sum
    criteria-range = the range/ranges that contain the criteria to base the sum on
    criteria = what you want to base the sum on, eg date, name, model etc
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
