Hey, this is Sarah from Contextures.com. Let's take a look at how we can use the SUMIFS formula to calculate a total based on values in two or more columns.
In the example here, we're looking at a summary of orders that have been placed, are pending, and have been shipped.
I want the amount totalled for all of our shipped orders, with 10 or more units. For this, we'll build a SUMIFS formula.
So, we'll select the cell, head to the formula bar, and start with equals SUMIFS, our open bracket, then we're going to select the 'sum_range'.
Here, we want to see the amount, so we'll select those cells, and follow with a comma.
Now it wants to see the first criteria. So we'll select our status, comma.
And now, what is the criteria? For us, we're looking for shipped.
So we'll do quotation "Shipped" and we'll close the quote, followed by a comma.
Next up, we're going to head to our second criteria, which will be the unit number.
Select those cells, a comma.
We're going to use something called an operator.
So again, we want an open quote. We're going to let it know that we would like to see anything greater than or equal to 10.
So we'll type in greater than, and the equal symbol and close the quote.
Our value, follows the ampersand, which is 10,
And we'll close the bracket.
By pressing Enter, we're going to see our amount is 827.
So that reflects the total shipped, with units that are greater than or equal to 10.
To make it more flexible, we could replace where we've typed, "Shipped" and the number "10", by what we already have here in these cells.
Now, if we change the value in here, it will change our amount totaled.
So if we change this to 2, we're now going to see additional orders that have been shipped.
