Free exercises COUNTIF(S) and SUMIF(S) functions
I have prepared two Excel tables with data and many tasks to use COUNTIF(S) and SUMIF(S). Each task contains also the result.
Exercise 1
The first table contains Orders and Transport information. Data come from a big wholesale of electronics.
There are some of the tasks:
Exercise 2
The second table contains data from Hairdressers and barbers. There is information about each customer in May 2013. What Service, Stylist, Price, Payment and when.
Your task is to find some statistical values. The results are included on the third sheet.
These exercises are for free and you can use them, change them or copy them. If you find any mistake, please leave a comment.
Thanks bro.. practicing before interview… best wishes from India
Hi thankyou for to give us the prepare practice sheet and save our much more time
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.
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”?
Big help, thank you.
WOW THIS HELP ME BATTLE MY DEPRESSION

Answer of Exercise 2
=SUMIFS(E2:E25,G2:G25,G3,G2:G25,G4,G2:G25,G7)
I am using this for the 3 criteria in sumifs but it is giving me a zero. What am I doing wrong ?
Dear Bro Use add(+) symbol you will get output =SUMIFS(E2:E25,G2:G25,”Baltimore”)+SUMIFS(E2:E25,G2:G25,”NY”)+SUMIFS(E2:E25,G2:G25,”Philadelphia”)
great

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
Thank you for uploading this exercise! It was fun and interesting doing it, as well as it helped me improve on my mistakes. I keep forgetting to add some ranges from time to time, however I think I will keep a better eye for that from now on!
This was a great use for my upcoming exam, thanks!
I need this practice sheet
These were good practice questions.
Thanks 🙂
Thanks for sharing the excercise.
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.

Thanks a lot for sharing. I did not find as simple exercise as this. And it is for free. Great!
Is it possible to use COUNTIFS and SUMIFS in Google spreadsheets?
Yes. You can use both functions in Google spreadheets. The syntax is here:
SUMIFS(sum_range, criteria_range1, criterion1, [criteria_range2, criterion2, …])
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.
Hi
thanks for shearing!
Regards
Great exercise, my learners lved the challenge of working out the functions. Thanks
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!
