In simple words, while working with long data sheet. Sometimes we need to find the sum if only the value which is less than a particular value or say
we need to add values where data value of the corresponding values is less than a given value.

=SUMIF(range , "<=" & value, Sum_range)

range : Set of Values / sum range
& : operator used to concatenate to other operator.
Sum_range : (optional) range where sum is required

Let’s understand this function using it in an example.

Here we need to find the TotalPrice sum if quantity is less than 40.

So we will use the formula to get the amount

=SUMIF(D2:D10,"<=" &I3,F2:F10)

D2:D10 : range where quantity is less than 40.
"<=" & I3 : criteria, less than the value in I3 which is 40.
F2:F10 : Sum_range
0012
Use the formula as stated above and press Enter.
0013
As you can see the formula returns 438.82, the sum Totalprice amount.

Here we are applying criteria on the sum_range.
0014
If our criteria is to be applied on the sum_range.

Use the formula:

=SUMIF(F2:F10,"<=" & I3)

range is same as sum_range, then sum_range argument which is optional is not required.
