I need to do a conditional sum on a column of numbers and have two choices
I can see.

the condition is the combination of two other cells (adjacent columns)

I can use Dsum which allows me to examine the two conditions at once or I
have room to create a third column which conjugates the two conditions
( they are text) and use Sumif. In terms of performance which if more
efficient and will run faster.

Your advice is appreciated
 
Hi Susan,

DSUM is faster than SUMIF, particularly with multiple conditions.
