SUMIF Function
Today I am going to tell you about Microsoft Excel's function SUMIF you can use this function whenever you have to sum any range in excel on basis of any given condition or certain criteria. Like if you have to sum of a range where many different values. But you want sum of only those cells where your condition met than you can use this formula.
For example this is a budget sheet and you want some of those months in which you have spent more than 10 thousand Rupees. Or any conditions.
In this formula we have to give three parameters.
=SUMIF (range,criteria, [sum_range])
How to enter formula.
Start with equals to sign. Then start typing sumif from your keyboard. Then open bracket. Or if you're using Microsoft Excel 2007 or later versions you can press tab when your formula gets highlighted in formula list. It will save your time. And also you can get rid of making typing errors. Then go one by one as per below instructions.
Range is the area which you have to select for which you want to sum it should contain sum values plus criteria for sum.
Criteria you can enter criteria direct by typing or you can give a cell reference.
Sum_range is the range of those cells or area for which you want to sum. It should not contain any additional cells which you don't want to get calculate in your formula result. if you don't define this parameter. Formula will use range parameter.
This formula is very useful function. I use it in my daily life. As excel is my mostly used software.
