The SUMIFS function extends the usefulness of the SUMIF function by allowing you to specify from 2 to 127 criteria rather than just one as in SUMIF. Normally, SUMIFS works with rows of data called records.
To sum if cells contain specific text in another cell, you can use the SUMIF function with a wildcard and concatenation. In the example shown, cell G6 contains this formula: =SUMIF(C5:C11,*&F6&*,D5:D11) This formula sums the amounts in column D when a value in column C contains the text in cell F6.
