[Excel 2007 Beta2] Function SUMIFS

F

Franz Verga

I'm trying to use this new worksheet function, using the example provided
in the online help, but it doesn't work asbsolutely... The only way I
succeded was using it like a regular SUMIF...

I think it should be some bug in this function...

I put some numbers (1,2,3,4) in A1:A4
In B1:B4 I entered some letters (a,,b,c,d) and in C1:C4 some more letters
In D1 I entered =SUMIFS(A1:A4,B1:B4,"A",C1:C4,"D")
It gave me the correct answer; that is to say, the same value I get with
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B4="A"),--(C1:C4="D"),A1:A4)
Tell us about your experiment

I have just looked at the on-line example! What rubbish!
It states: Each cell in sum_range is summed only if all of the corresponding
criteria specified are true for that cell
But in =SUMIFS(B2:B5,A2:A5,"=Julie",A2:A5,"=Hans") , in any A cell we have
either JULIE or HANS so nothing ever gets added.
IMHO it is Help that is wrong; the function works as advertised (see my
first post)

I think I'll continue using the SUMPRODUCT version instead the new SUMIFS...
