    SumIF w/ two conditions (not the same as other posts!... I think)

    Ok, I'm trying to find the value of items within a column that meet two
    criteria.

    For example:

    Col A contains type (either "beef" or "cheese" or "Lemons")
    Col B contains cost (number)
    Col C contains grade (0,1,2)

    I want to add up the total cost of all the grade 0 beef.

    I tried the sumproduct thing and I couldn't get it to work.

    any help would be much appreciated!

    There could be several reasons why the formula is not
    returning the correct value. Post your SUMPRODUCT formula
    and the value it is returning along with the value it
    *should* return.

    here's my formula: =SUMPRODUCT(--(A4:A13="beef"),--(C4:C13="0"),B4:B13)
    it returns: 0

    The second argument should be C4:C13=0 and NOT C4:C13="0"

    Try it without the quotes around 0 (i.e., C4:C13=0). You are checking for a
    text 0, and column C probably contains numeric values.

    Hi

    Try SUMPRODUCT(--(A4:A13="beef")*(C4:C13="0")*B4:B13)

    Paul is quite right, the quotes around the 0 are not necessary if the values
    in column C are numeric.
    SUMPRODUCT(--(A4:A13="beef")*(C4:C13=0)*B4:B13) should give the answer you
    are looking for.

    SUMPRODUCT((A4:A13="beef")*(C4:C13=0)*B4:B13)

    its really without quotation marks

    Re: SumIF w/ two conditions (not the same as other posts!... I thi

    Thanks all!

    Here's the one that did the trick:
    =SUMPRODUCT(--(A4:A13="beef"),--(C4:C13=0),B4:B13)

    I just had to get rid of the quotes... DUH!

    thanks again!

    Work around

    I have a work around for your problem

    Add Col D in your data. Give a formula in Col D for merging COL A & COL C e.g cell D1 would have =C1&A1. Now Col D would have the combination of Grades and Type.

    You can now give a sumif on Col D for the type & grade combination you need. e.g sumif(D1:Dn,"0beef",B1:Bn)
