SUMIF HELP

Can you have two arguments for a SUMIF function? I want cell K56 to sum
cells K3:K44 if cells A3:A44 has a value of M or W. I can it to work with
just one value but I’m unsure of how to get it to do two.

Thanks,
Chance

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A3:A44={"M","W"}),K3:K44)

Using SUMPRODUCT offers the most flexibility, but in this=20
case you could use:

=3DSUM(SUMIF(A3:A44,{"M","W"},K3:K44))

Try in K56:
=SUMPRODUCT(((A3:A44="M")+(A3:A44="W")),K3:K44)

Tried this, Bob, but think it returns #VALUE!

I think Bob meant this:

=3DSUMPRODUCT((A3:A44=3D{"M","W"})*K3:K44)

Kindly use the formula in the following manner.

=SUMIF(A3:A6,"m",K3:K6)+SUMIF(A3:A6,"w",K3:K6)+SUM IF(A3:A6,"j",K3:K6)

Good luck..john britto

=SUMPRODUCT((A3:A44={"M","W"})*K3:K44)

is not efficient though.

In cases of 2 conditions to or, one can get away with the + idiom:

[1]

=SUMPRODUCT((A3:A44="M")+(A3:A44="W"),K3:K44)

as Max suggested.

The following invokes an efficient idiom for or'ing...

[2]

=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(MATCH(A3:A44,{"M","W"},0)),K3:K44)

An equivalent setup with SumIf is...

[3]

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(A3:A44,{"M","W"},K3:K44))

where Sum can be sustituted for SumProduct when a constant array of
conditions is used (as occurs in your other reply).

To recap, with J1:J2 housing the conditions "M" and "W"...

[1] SUMPRODUCT((A3:A44=J1)+(A3:A44=J2),K3:K44)
[2] SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(MATCH(A3:A44,J1:J2,0)),K3:K44)
[3] SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(A3:A44,J1:J2,K3:K44))

The first one becomes unwieldy with more conditions. It would be
interesting to compare temporal profiles of the second and the third though.
