    Using Trim Function to remove excess space in Sumif function

    Hello all,

    Please in the attached file, I want to use trim function to remove excess space in "Emmanuel" and then add all the "33" bought by customer Emmanuel. The trim function works very well for Sumproduct but not working for Sumif. How do I make it work for Sumif?

    Thanks.

    I don't think you can get it to work with Sumif. However, it would just give you the same answer as your sumproduct formula. So just use that instead?

    You can't use Trim (or any other funciton) on the CriteriaRange or SumRange in Sumif.

    But you can use wildcards
    =SUMIF(B3:B27,"*Emmanuel*",C3:C27)
