Using Formula MONTH() in SUMIFS()
MONTH(A:A) is not a range but an array.
The criteria_range arguments of SUMIFS must be ranges, not arrays.
You can use SUMPRODUCT instead:
=SUMPRODUCT(C2:C1000, (MONTH(A2:A1000)=8)*(B2:B1000="Groceries"))
(I'd use finite ranges instead of entire columns for reasons of performance.)
Alternatively, create a helper column. For example enter the following formula in D2:
=MONTH(A2)
and fill down. You can then use
=SUMIFS(C:C, D:D, 8, B:B, "Groceries")
- what if there were various words in the cells under the Category heading in each cell instead of just "Groceries"? Can you still isolate Groceries? If so, how? Ive seen "*...*" used in sumif and sumifs formulas
Using the example from higher up:
=SUMIFS(C2:C1000, B2:B1000, "*Groceries*")
and
=SUMPRODUCT(C2:C1000, (MONTH(A2:A1000)=8)*ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Groceries", B2:B1000)))
- Thank you
I tried SUMPRODUCT but it sometimes works, sometimes gives error and sometimes gives 0. I am really confused, so I simplified my table further to check for the issue. Could you help me to check why the formula is returning 0 here? Thank you!
SUMPRODUCT() ignores logical values. SUMPRODUCT(B2:B4, --(A2:A4="Groceries"))
And since you omitted the MONTH() criteria you can use SUMIF() again.
I am trying to do something similar, I want to look at sales per sales rep per month where on another tab I have a total revenue figure and a criteria of closed one next to it
A1 is the actual revenue
A2 is the target
A3-4 is the month range
I started with this but cannot build it out without errors =SUMIF(Opportunities!O:O, "Closed Won", Opportunities!N:N)
