New Concepts: SUMIF Function


Purpose:
Used to sum values in a range based on a
specific condition (criteria).
Structure:
=SUMIF(range, criteria, sum_range)
Term Meaning
range The column to check for the
condition (e.g. course names in A3:A12)
criteria The condition to match (e.g. "FIS"
or cell F5)
sum_range The column to sum values from
(e.g. marks in C3:C12)
Example:
To sum marks for FIS (Fundamentals of
Info Systems):
=SUMIF(A3:A12, F5, C3:C12)
Sums values in column C only if the value
in column A is FIS

Notes:
Excel previews results before pressing
OK
SUMIF works by checking one column
(criteria) and summing corresponding
values in another
Useful when Excel sheets have many
rows, and you want to apply conditions for
analysis
