Sum if is only calculating one column

[Guest]

I am trying to calculate more data in more than one column with the sumif
function but it only adds up data in the first column. The formula I have is

=SUMIF($A$10:$A$12,$A1,B1012)

For some reason it only adds up data in column b and not columns b to d as
expected.

Is this unique to Excel 2003 as I believe I used to be able to do this in
older versions.

Not unique to 2003, all versions of sumif has this, one possible way

=SUMPRODUCT((A10:A12=A1)*(B1012))

{=SUM(($A$10:$A$12=A1)*(B1012))}

Array formula entered with CTRL SHIFT & Enter will achieve what you
want.
