  9. Hello,

    For Excercise 1’s Question: Sum of items transported to NY, Baltimore, and Philadelphia

    Why does inputtiing =SUMIFS(E2:E25,G2:G25,”NY”,G2:G25,”Baltimore”,G2:G25,”Philadelphia”) result in 0?

    I understand why =SUMIFS(E2:E25,G2:G25,”NY”)+SUMIFS(E2:E25,G2:G25,”Baltimore”)+SUMIFS(E2:E25,G2:G25,”Philadelphia”) gets me the correct answer, but am unsure why the other input doesn’t.

    Any explanation is much appreciated.

  10. Hello
    For the second exercice, in the column “service”, there is some cases that have all service.
    Does that mean that we have to do the the normal condition + the same normal condition but we replace the service selected to ”all services”?

    8 years later this is still relevant, thank you so much. After thinking SUMIFS/COUNTIFS were so confusing I now understand because of this.
    I did get a different answer for Sum of price for Shaving between 5/10/2013 and 5/20/2013 because of the difference in date format

  24. Hi! Than you for the exercises. However, let me ask you why do you use different types of dates in the exercises? 01.05.2013 and 5/10/2013. I think that is why you have zeros in the results, however, if you keep dates in the same type, numbers change (10.05.2013 instead of 5/10/2013).
    Thank you.

    • Hi Maria,

      date format depends on your computer settings. If you are US located you will have probably 5/10/2013, other countries will have 10.5.2013.

      You are right that this is important for getting the correct result.

  28. Is it possible to use COUNTIFS and SUMIFS in Google spreadsheets?

    Reply

    • Yes. You can use both functions in Google spreadheets. The syntax is here:
      SUMIFS(sum_range, criteria_range1, criterion1, [criteria_range2, criterion2, …])

  29. Thank you for this simple explanation. What is the difference between COUNTIF(SUMIF) and pivot table? I have a big data table and I need to create overview statistics from this source. I don’t know which way is better.

  32. On exercise 2, the total price is incorrect. For example, the total times “shaving” is 71. The cost per shave is $7.00. So 71 times $7.00 is $497. Also the total price by cash is incorrect.

    • Sorry, I just notices that not all shaves are $7.00!
