The document discusses the SUMIF and SUMIFS functions in Microsoft Excel. SUMIF sums data that meets a specified criterion, with the syntax =SUMIF(range, criterion, sum_range). SUMIFS allows summing data based on multiple criteria, with the syntax =SUMIFS(sum_range, range1, criteria1, range2, criteria2, etc.). The document provides examples of using these functions to sum units sold based on a single criterion of the salesperson ("Dave") and a dual criterion of salesperson and region ("Dave" and "North").

1. MS EXCEL
FUNCTIONS

2. SUMIF
FUNCTION

3. A combination of
two popular
functions,

4. Sum and If
functions,

5. SumIf function
sums up data in
a selected range
that meets a
specific criterion.

6. The syntax for
SumIf function is

7. = SUMIF
(RANGE,
CRITERION, SUM
RANGE)

8. Let’s define
further

9. Range is a group
of cells.

10. Criterion is a
standard set by
the user.

11. Sum Range is
where the data to
be summed up will
come from.

12. SumIf function
can be used in
numbers and
alphabets.

13. Again, the syntax
is

14. RANGE
SUM
RANGE
CRITERION

15. If the criterion is
met by the
range,

16. The data in the
sum range will
be summed up.

17. To use SumIf
function,

18. You can type the
syntax yourself.

20. then select the
range

22. set the criterion

23. and select the
sum range.

24. Or you may use
the second
method.

25. Go to Formulas
> More Functions

27. Statistical then
look for SumIf.

29. If SumIf function
is not there, click
insert function.

31. A dialog box will
appear.

33. Here, search for
SumIf function
and click go.

35. It will display its
recommendations.

37. Select SumIf then
click OK.

39. The SumIf
function box will
appear

41. Asking for the
range, criterion
and sum range.

43. To illustrate
further, we have
this information

45. We want to know
how many units
did Dave sell.

46. Using the syntax

47. = SUMIF
(RANGE,
CRITERION, SUM
RANGE)

48. First, let’s type
the syntax in a
cell.

50. But what is the
range?

51. And what is the
sum range?

52. Let’s analyze the
information
given.

53. Here, we must
know the total
units sold.

55. This is our sum
range.

56. Remember the
definition of sum
range?

57. The data in the
sum range is
summed if the
range meets the
criterion.

58. Since we want to
know the total
units sold, this is
where we will
sum up our data.

59. What is the
criterion?

60. What standard
do we need to
meet to total the
units sold?

61. Dave!

62. What about the
range?

64. Just remember
the definition!

65. The range must
meet the
criterion so the
sum range will
be summed up.

66. Here, we must
look for dave in
the range

68. So SumIf will add
the units sold.

70. Let’s continue
with the syntax.

71. The range is

72. Criterion is
“Dave”

73. Don’t forget the
“ “ for
alphabets.

74. Then the sum
range is

76. And the answer
given is

77. Now, let’s use
the second
method.

78. Go to Formulas
then More
Function

80. Then go to
Statistical then
Insert Function.

81. A dialog box will
appear

83. Search for SumIf
then press OK

85. The SumIf
function box will
appear

87. Click on range
and drag the
range to select

89. Click on criteria
and type Dave

91. Click on Sum
Range and drag
to select

93. The syntax
resulted to

95. Do we have the
same result?

97. Great!

98. What about the
sumifs function?

100. It is the plural
form of SumIf
function.

101. SumIfs allows
multiple criteria.

102. Using the same
information

104. We want to know
how many units
did Dave sell in
the North
Region.

105. Here, we don’t
just have one
criterion

106. We have two!

107. Dave and North

108. We have to
expand our
syntax.

109. So instead of
SumIf, we will
use SumIfs.

111. The syntax for
SumIfs is

112. =SUMIFS (SUM
RANGE,
RANGE1,
CRITERIA1,
RANGE2,
CRITERIA2)

113. Note that Sum
Range is at the
beginning.

114. Followed by the
first range then
the first criteria,

115. Followed by the
second range
then the second
criteria,

116. And so on.

117. Let’s go back to
our illustration

118. We want to know
how many units
did Dave sell in
the North
Region.

120. Here, Sum Range
is the same, units
sold

122. Criteria are Dave
and North

123. And the range is
where criteria
should be met

125. The sequence of
the range and its
criterion is up to
you

126. The answer given
by the syntax is

127. Now, it’s your
turn!

128. Use the SumIf
and SumIfs
functions

129. And tell me
about your
experience
below.
