SUMIFS function
Returns the sum of the values of cells in a range that meets multiple criteria in multiple ranges.
SUMIFS(Func_Range; Range1; Criterion1 [ ; Range2; Criterion2 [;...]]))
Func_Range – required argument. It is a range of cells, a name of a named range or a label of a column or a row containing values for calculating the sum.
The search supports wildcards or regular expressions. With regular expressions enabled, you can enter "all.*", for example to find the first location of "all" followed by any characters. If you want to search for a text that is also a regular expression, you must either precede every character with a "\" character, or enclose the text into \Q...\E. You can switch the automatic evaluation of wildcards or regular expression on and off in .
When using functions where one or more arguments are search criteria strings that represents a regular expression, the first attempt is to convert the string criteria to numbers. For example, ".0" will convert to 0.0 and so on. If successful, the match will not be a regular expression match but a numeric match. However, when switching to a locale where the decimal separator is not the dot makes the regular expression conversion work. To force the evaluation of the regular expression instead of a numeric expression, use some expression that can not be misread as numeric, such as ".[0]" or ".\0" or "(?i).0".
The logical relation between criteria can be defined as logical AND (conjunction). In other words, if and only if all given criteria are met, a value from the corresponding cell of the given Func_Range is taken into calculation.

In all examples below, ranges for calculation contain the row #6, which is ignored because it contains text.
Simple usage
=SUMIFS(B2:B6;B2:B6;">=20")
Calculates the sum of values of the range B2:B6 that are greater than or equal to 20. Returns 75, because the fifth row does not meet the criterion.
=SUMIFS(C2:C6;B2:B6;">=20";C2:C6;">70")
Calculates the sum of values of the range C2:C6 that are greater than 70 and correspond to cells of the B2:B6 range with values greater than or equal to 20. Returns 275, because the second and the fifth rows do not meet at least one criterion.
Using regular expressions and nested functions
=SUMIFS(C2:C6;B2:B6;">"&MIN(B2:B6);B2:B6;"<"&MAX(B2:B6))
Calculates the sum of values of the range C2:C6 that correspond to all values of the range B2:B6 except its minimum and maximum. Returns 255, because the third and the fifth rows do not meet at least one criterion.
=SUMIFS(C2:C6;A2:A6;"pen.*";B2:B6;"<"&MAX(B2:B6))
Calculates the sum of values of the range C2:C6 that correspond to all cells of the A2:A6 range starting with "pen" and to all cells of the B2:B6 range except its maximum. Returns 65, because only second row meets all criteria.
Reference to a cell as a criterion
If you need to change a criterion easily, you may want to specify it in a separate cell and use a reference to this cell in the condition of the SUMIFS function. For example, the above function can be rewritten as follows:
=SUMIFS(C2:C6;A2:A6;E2&".*";B2:B6;"<"&MAX(B2:B6))
If E2 = pen, the function returns 65, because the link to the cell is substituted with its content.
