copy the conditional sum (SUMIF) formula

[Guest]

Is it possible to copy the conditional sum add-in formula over to additional
cells? If so, how? I have never been able to get the formula to drag and
copy.

It is probably because you don't have your absolute and relative references
correct. Generally, if sat using SUMIF, it should be of the form

=SUMIF($A$2:$A$100,M1,$B$2:$B$100)

that is the condition range and the sum range should be absolute, the value
to test for should be relative.

Hi Megs,
What is the address of the formula, and what is the formula, and
what direction are you trying to drag the formula, and what formula
do you want to see in the second cell..

I am assuming this is strictly a SUMIF formula.

for instance
C3: =sumif(A1:A3,100) .
perhaps should have been started at
A1: =SUMIF($A$1:$A3, 100)
in order to fill down.
