Syntax

expression.SumIf(Arg1, Arg2, Arg3)

expression   A variable that represents a WorksheetFunction object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
Arg1 Required Range Range - the range of cells that you want evaluated by criteria.
Arg2 Required Variant Criteria - the criteria in the form of a number, expression, or text that defines which cells will be added. For example, criteria can be expressed as 32, "32", ">32", or "apples".
Arg3 Optional Variant Sum_range - the actual cells to add if their corresponding cells in range match criteria. If sum_range is omitted, the cells in range are both evaluated by criteria and added if they match criteria.

Return Value
Double

Remarks

  • Sum_range does not have to be the same size and shape as range. The actual cells that are added are determined by using the top, left cell in sum_range as the beginning cell, and then including cells that correspond in size and shape to range. For example:
    If range is And sum_range is Then the actual cells are
    A1:A5 B1:B5 B1:B5
    A1:A5 B1:B3 B1:B5
    A1:B4 C1:D4 C1:D4
    A1:B4 C1:C2 C1:D4
  • You can use the wildcard characters, question mark (?) and asterisk (*), in criteria. A question mark matches any single character; an asterisk matches any sequence of characters. If you want to find an actual question mark or asterisk, type a tilde (~) preceding the character.
