Step by step
- 1Identify the sum range (e.g. C2:C6 for sales amounts) and each criteria range with its matching value.
- 2Type =SUMIFS(C2:C6,A2:A6,"East",B2:B6,"Widget"). The first argument is always the sum range; criteria pairs follow in order.
- 3Press Enter. Only rows where column A = "East" AND column B = "Widget" contribute to the total.
Tips
- You can add up to 127 criteria pairs in SUMIFS.
- Use comparison operators in criteria strings: e.g. ">100" or "<>0".
- All ranges passed to SUMIFS must be the same size, or you will get a #VALUE! error.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between SUMIF and SUMIFS?
SUMIF supports a single condition; SUMIFS supports multiple. Also note the argument order differs: SUMIF is (range, criteria, sum_range) while SUMIFS is (sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, ...).
Can I use OR logic with SUMIFS?
SUMIFS uses AND logic. For OR logic, add separate SUMIFS calls together: =SUMIFS(..."East"...)+SUMIFS(..."West"...).
