Examples for the excel sumif formula
Copy these examples into a spreadsheet and adjust the ranges for your own data.
SUMIF syntax pattern
=SUMIF(eval_range, criteria, [sum_range])Use this SUMIF pattern as the starting point for your spreadsheet formula.
SUMIF in a worksheet
=SUMIF(eval_range, criteria, [sum_range])Evaluates each value based on criteria, then adds the values that meet those criteria. If sum_range is given, values in sum_range are added wherever eval_range meets the criteria.
When to use SUMIF
Use SUMIF when you need to evaluate each value based on criteria, then adds the values that meet those criteria. SUMIF if sum_range is given, values in sum_range are added wherever eval_range meets the criteria.
- Build totals, rounded metrics, and numeric calculations.
- Clean up numeric inputs before analysis.
How SUMIF works in Quadratic
In Quadratic, SUMIF follows the syntax SUMIF(eval_range, criteria, [sum_range]). The function works inside Quadratic formulas and can be combined with spreadsheet ranges, tables, and other formulas.
Common SUMIF mistakes
Most SUMIF issues come from mismatched argument types, ranges that do not cover the intended data, or optional parameters being omitted when the default behavior is not what you expected.
- Check each required parameter before copying the formula across a sheet.
- Confirm that ranges line up with the rows or columns you intend to analyze.
- Use Quadratic AI to explain or debug the formula when the result looks wrong.
