SUMIF(S) not available on Excel 2003

[Longhag]

I have created a worksheet at home on Excel 2007 using 'sumifs' and
'countifs' formulae and when I have saved this (in .xls format) and then
opened it in Excel 2003 in work, it doesn't recognise this formula.

Is there a way of converting this appropriately or an alternative formula I
can use for sum/count if command with multiple criteria

Thanks
G

SUMPRODUCT is likely to be the best bet.

As you have found, they are new to 2007. Try using sumproduct((etc. or the
array sum(if( etc.
Post your formula(s) if necessary.

David,

Thanks for your response. Could you explain a little further how this one
will work?

Cheers

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Range1=value1),--(Range2="value2"),Range2Sum)

This is my Excel 2007 formula - how would I convert this into 2003:

=SUMIFS(I4:I302,A4:A302,1,G4:G302,"written")

'1' being the criteria in the first range, 'written' being the criteria in
the second range and I4:I302 is the sum range.

Thanks for your help

This is so close. Where you have value1 my value is the number 1 and it is
saying there is an error.

This is my Excel 2007 formula - how would I convert this into 2003:

=SUMIFS(I4:I302,A4:A302,1,G4:G302,"written")

'1' being the criteria in the first range, 'written' being the criteria in
the second range and I4:I302 is the sum range.

Thanks for your help

try
=sumproduct((a4:a302=1)*(g4:g302="written)*i4:i302)
or
sumproduct(--(a4:a302=1),--(g4:g302="written"),i4:i302)

 

[Longhag]

Don,

The second one seems to be the closest but it doesn't like the =1 in the
first criteria.

Should this be written any other way?

 

[Bob Phillips]

That would just be

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A4:A302=1),--(G4:G302="written"),I4:I302)

or


=SUMPRODUCT(--(A4:A302="1"),--(G4:G302="written"),I4:I302)

if not real numbers

 

[David Biddulph]

It's always useful if you tell us what formula you are using when you get an
error, and what error you are getting.

Were you using =SUMPRODUCT(--(A4:A302=1),--(G4:G302="written"),I4:I302) ?
If so, what error did Excel tell you there was?
Another way of writing it would be
=SUMPRODUCT((A4:A302=1)*(G4:G302="written")*(I4:I302))

 

[Longhag]

wher you have written -- do I insert if ;also it doesn't like 1 or "1"

Sorry to keep bothering you

 

[Longhag]

The second one works. Is there a similar solution for countifs ?

This is my current 2007 formula :

=COUNTIFS(A4:A302,2,G4:G302,"written")

[Bob Phillips]

No, that works as given, assuming you don't use ; as a separator.

 

[Longhag]

The firsst one works. Is there a similar solution for countifs ?

This is my current 2007 formula :

=COUNTIFS(A4:A302,2,G4:G302,"written")

Regards
G

 

[Don Guillett]

Just delete the parameter that summed based on criteria
=sumproduct((a4:a302=1)*(g4:g302="written))

 

[Longhag]

Thanks for all your help today. All looks to be working well.

Regards
Gareth

So isn't it as simple as either
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A4:A302=1),--(G4:G302="written")) or
=SUMPRODUCT((A4:A302=1)*(G4:G302="written")) ?
