Improve SUMIF function to sum more than one column

[Guest]

In using the SUMIF function in Excel, I wanted to sum values in more than one
column, but it would only sum the first column.

Desired Function
=SUMIF(F16:F21,"A",G16:H21)

Workaround
=SUMIF(F16:F21,"A",G16:G21)+=SUMIF(F16:F21,"A",H16:H21)

One way

=SUM(IF(F16:F21="A",G16:H21,0))

which is an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter

And another that's not an array formula,

=SUMPRODUCT((F16:F21="A")*G16:H21)

or, getting tricky,

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(F16:F21,"A",OFFSET(G16:G21,0,{0,1})))

which can handle multiple NONADJACENT columns in the same
worksheet.

I16:

=G16+H16

Then invoke:

=SUMIF(F16:F21,"A",I16:I21)
