How to sum in excel

Hello
I have 2 tabs in my excel spreadsheet: Summary tab and detailed tab.
Under the detailed tab I have a long list of costs for different activities (Act 1, Act 2, Act 3 etc).
Is there any way I can put the formula under the summary tab so it calculates sum of the costs under activity 1 only.

RE: How to sum in excel

Hi Tina,

Thank you for the forum question.

You will need to use the SUMIFS function.

SUMIFS(sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2], ...)

Select the cell where you want the sum.

=SUMIFS("select the range where you have cost for all activities","Select the range where you have listed the activities","type which activity you want to sum the cost for")

Please watch the YouTube video below if my answer doesn't make sense
