Sumifs

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a sum ifs function. A screenshot of the sheet is included. Basically I want a formula that says if the course name match and the date match, total the costs.

So in the example if the course date is 9/16/2024 and the course name is 300, add the three rows of cost.

I can get it to sum for each individually =sumif(Date:Date, [Date]@row) and =sumif(Course Name:Course Name, [Course Name]@row). But when I try to combine it does not work. I am not sure if it should be an (AND in there or something. Thanks!

    Hi @Whalstead1,

    You're correct that you want to use the SUMIFS function for this problem. The syntax for SUMIFS is a little bit different than the syntax for SUMIF.

    This formula should work for you:

    =SUMIFS(Cost:Cost, [Course Name]:[Course Name], [Course Name]@row, Date:Date, [Date]@row)
    

    This will search the rows, and sum the costs if the course names match and the dates match.

    Let me know if you have any questions about the formula!
