Syntax and Arguments:

The Syntax for the SUMIF Formula is:

=SUMIF(range,criteria,sum_range)

sum_range – The range to sum.

Additional Notes

SUMIF Examples in VBA

You can also use the SUMIF function in VBA. Type:

application.worksheetfunction.sumif(range,criteria,sum_range)

Assuming we have the following excel sheet

Private Sub Excel_VBAExample_SUMIF()
    Dim SumIfResult  As Variant
    SumIfResult = Application.WorksheetFunction.SumIf(Range("A1:A10"), "In", Range("B1:B10"))
    MsgBox ("SUMIF result is: " & SumIfResult )
End Sub

We are summing numbers from Column B, where column A text is “In”. The result is 73.

For the function arguments (range, etc.), you can either enter them directly into the function, or define variables to use instead.
