multi column of sumif

[birdsting]

while I create a multi column sumif function as this:
=sumif(a:a,"special",or/and(b:b,d:d,f:f)), but it is unable to
function. So, I use the duplicate sumif function like this:
=sumif(a:a,"special",b:b)+sumif(a:a,"special",d:d)+sumif(a:a,"special",f:f).

Please tell me how to simplify it with thanks.

this will work if nothing in col c or e
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A22="special")*B2:F22)

Glad to help but as I said it won't help much if something in c or e.
