I’m new to excel and i need help. I need a formula that will get a sum total from a collum on a general ledger page (collum E), but it mus meet two diffrent criterias: First it must have been entered in a certain month (collum 1), and second it must have a certain text code (collum 3).
The sum total needs to displayed in a cell on a diffrent page (monthly statement page).
Thank You

Sahil offers a great alternative. I have used helper columns with excellent results.

CONCATENATE works well with simple matching criteria but…

What about conditions that involve logical operators (greater than, less than, etc)?

Use helper columns with Logical functions (AND, IF, etc).

Here is a SUMIF Multiple example; it uses helper columns, Excel Logical functions and also CONCATENATE: http://www.excel-spreadsheet-authors.com/sumif-multiple.html I hope it helps

And if you want to use third or other criterias you can add the fourth column formulas a new element. Example =SUMIf(D2:D10;A2&B7&F5;C2:C10)

L have an easiest method about sumif with multiple criteria. You cannt use SUMPRODUCT in one Excel.xls 1000 time. For its you need 15 minutes.
But l have a best suggest which you can use more criterial sumif 100.000.000 time calculation during 5 secund. Its revolution.
Look at carefully !
Set your columns . Example
1)A1- Dealers.(A2:A10)
2)B1- Countries.(B2:B10)
3)C1- Profits.(C2:C10)
You have some dealers in some countries, and they have different profit. And you want to sum PROFİT— DEALER by name “HONDA” and situated in COUNTRY “USA”.
Step by Step
1)Add a new fourth column by name D1- Dealer&Country.(D2:D10)
2)Add to every cell in this column function CONCOTANATE
=A2&B2 , =A3&B3 …=A10&B10
3)And finally this function for you. You can use everywhere.Example you want to find Dealers by name Honda (A2),(A5),(A7),(A9) situated in County USA(B5)(B7).
=SUMIF(D2:D10;A2&B7;C2:C10)
In this function u can use your every criterias concocoating.
Enjoyyyyyyyyyy
