IF function
I want to sum the numbers in column B (say) according to the values in Column A
I've put
=IF(A:A)=1,Sum(B:B)
This get #NAME
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks

RE: IF function
Hi Ross
Thank you for your question.
You need to use SUMIF
It consists of 3 areas.
Range: the area you're using to check the criteria (A1:A21)
Criteria: What you're looking for i.e. 1
Sum range: the area that will be calculated (B1:B21)
I wouldn't recommend using the entire column as this will increase your file size and potentially slow down your sheet
Hope this helps
Kind regards
