SUMMEWENN Bereich / SUMIF Range Bug
In the attached file you can find an easy example, which in my eyes is a bug. Had to search a long time in a real planning file to find out about it. =SUMMEWENN($G:$J;B4;$J:$J) sums up not on...

Yeah I understand that i am too stupid for Excel and the help file 🙂 As I said above the bigger range was not intended, but most other formulas would throw an error if ranges don't fit together and not just assume this kind of behaviour. And personally i doubt many users are aware of the fact that ranges larger than "sum_range" will be summed up.
SUMIF(A1:B5 ; "value"; C1:C5) :
range sum_range Actual summed cells
A1:B5 C1:C5 C1:D5
SUMIF(A1:B5 ; "value"; C1:C5) :
range sum_range Actual summed cells
A1:B5 C1:C5 C1:D5

You are not stupid for Excel, you only ned bit more experience. Some things could seems not logical, we simply shall know that works as it works, the point. No one of us knows everything about the Excel.
