SUMIF statement with multiple criteria

Hi,

I am having trouble with SUMIF statements with multiple criteria and wondered if someone could help...

Here is my formula...

=SUMIF(('Full data table'!B:B="April"), ('Full data table'!H:H="BR ONE"), ('Full data table'!C:C=(TEXT(TODAY(), "yyyy")-1)), ('Full data table'!O:O))

So...

Where 'Full data table'!B:B="April", 'Full data table'!H:H="BR ONE" and 'Full data table'!C:C=2009 add the entry in column: Full data table'!O:O to any others that pass the multiple criteria.

It just doesnt work, I've tried it with *s instead of commas and alsorts but havent found the answer.

I have been trying to get this right for ages and would really appreciate any help you could give.

Thanks,

Tom

Tom

Would it be possible to have a sample of some data to see what your actually trying to do.

Its just a bit cryptic trying to see what your trying to do.


Thanks

RE: SUMIF statement with multiple criteria

Hi Tom

In Excel 2007 SUMIF() is joined by a new SUMIFS()

Here is some information from Microsoft about this feature. Could this be more useful?

Let me know what you think.

Kind regards,

Andrew

RE: SUMIF statement with multiple criteria

Hi Andrew,

Thanks very much for your reply. I'm so close now, this works if I want a static year (2009)...

=SUMIFS('Full data table'!O:O, 'Full data table'!B:B, "=April", 'Full data table'!H:H, "=BR ONE", 'Full data table'!C:C, "=2009")

But if I want it to be dynamic and only pick out last year by using this formula - ('Full data table'!C:C=(Text(Today(), "yyyy")-1)) - the SUMIFS function doesnt seem to like putting a formula in. I tried various syntax variations including...

=SUMIFS('Full data table'!O:O, 'Full data table'!B:B, "=April", 'Full data table'!H:H, "=BR ONE", 'Full data table'!C:C, "=(Text(Today(), ""yyyy"")-1)")

But I cant get it to accept it and give the right answer.

Can you help at all?

Thanks,

Tom
