Excel 365 after applying sumif formula cant delete formula in specified cell
It sounds as if your yellow filled range is actually a single dynamic array, spilt from the top cell. Such arrays are valuable just because they prevent the accidental deletion of valid data. If you wish to delete a value, you need to reformulate the formula that gives rise to the array using
= IF(condition, SUMIFS(..., ..., ...), "").

Yesterday while I was in the office i was doing the same formula with 2016 Excel, For the reconciliation purpose, I used to del specified cell. The same I was doing after purchasing 365 it is not happening. As you said if to prevent accidental deletion of valid date, how is it possible to del the specific cell formula With Vlookup and other formulas?. I will try your solution in 365- HansVogelaarSep 26, 2021MVP
Since the second argument of your SUMIF formula is the entire column A. Excel has spilled it to the entire column D. You can only edit and delete if you select the entire column D, and it will affect the entire column.
