Prob lem with SUMIF

I feel bad having to ask this question because I have used it in the past     10 years ago   I have a column with names in the next column I have amounts.  I want to sum the total  of the amounts ...

    Wow, I haven't seen SUMIF for years!  

    If I were tasked with the challenge of creating a blank cell, I would ensure there are no matches and then adopt a number format that displays a blank cell for zero.  Either by a hidden character or maybe by entering the arguments in the wrong order.

    = SUMIF(sum_range, range, criteria)
    "instead of"
    = SUMIF(range, criteria, sum_range)
