Sum multiple columns based on single criteria with a helper column

In Excel, we can create a helper column to sum the total values for each row, and then use the sumif function to sum this column based on criteria, please do as this:

1. In this example, you can sum the total values for each row first, please type this formula: =sum(B2:D2), then drag the fill handle down to the cells that you want to apply this formula, and the total values of each row will be displayedsee screenshot:

2. And next, you can apply the below sumif function to sum the data in helper column E based on the criteria:

=SUMIF(A2:A10, G2, E2:E10)

Then, press Enter key on the keyboard, and you will get the total number based on the specific criteria. See screenshot:

Tips: In the above formula:

  • A2:A10 refers to the range of cells that you want to apply the criteria against;
  • G2 is the criterion that the items are to be added;
  • E2:E10 specifies the cells to be added.

Sum multiple columns based on single criteria with an array formula

If you don’t like to use the helper column to solve this problem, here also is an array formula that can do you a favor.

1. Enter or copy the following formula in your specific cell - G2:

=SUM((B2:B10+C2:C10+D2:D10)*(--(A2:A10=F2)))

2. And then press the Ctrl + Shift +Enter keys together, and you will get the correct result.

Tips: In the above formula:

  • B2:B10, C2:C10 and D2:D10, indicate the columns that you want to sum, if you have more columns data need to sum, just add the column range as your need;
  • A2:A10 refers to the range of cells that you want to apply the criteria against;
  • F2 is the criterion that the items are to be added.

Hi

I have used the formula outlined in "Sum multiple columns based on single criteria with an array formula" - I am working with tables and address the columns with the table column names - the formula works however only if the criteria is YES for the first row in the table - if the criteria is not matched the total Sum is equal to Zero - it seems to disregard the other rows and does no sum them up. - any idea?

I had to now add SUMIFS about 12 times which looks awful.. thanks a lot

How can I sum multiple columns from single criteria/range? This formula doesn't work but will hopefully explain what I want. =SUMIF(C3:C36,C40,D3:W36) The result of this formula only SUMs D3:D36 and not the extra colums, i.e. E3:E36
