Effortlessly Calculate Group Sums with These Simple Formulas
Effortlessly Calculate Group Sums with These Simple Formulas. Suppose you have a list of groups with their corresponding number of members, and you need to calculate the sum of values for each group. You can use the SUMIF or SUMIFS functions to achieve this.
Effortlessly Calculate Group Sums with These Simple Formulas
To Sum Values by Group:
- Type the SUMIF function in a cell.
- Select the range (B2:B13) that contains the group names.
- Specify the name of the group or refer to the cell that contains the group name.
- Select the range (C2:C13) that contains the values to be summed.
- Press Enter to get the result.

Effortlessly Calculate Group Sums with These Simple Formulas
Once you hit Enter, the sum of the North group will be displayed in the cell. You can drag the formula down to calculate the sums for all the other groups.
The formula is: =SUMIF(B2:B13,E3,C2:C13)
Summing Multiple Groups
Effortlessly Calculate Group Sums with These Simple Formulas
In the example below, we have two groups with data in separate columns.
To calculate the sum of values for multiple groups, you need to use the SUMIFS function instead of SUMIF. In the first criteria, we use Group 1 (Region); in the second, we use Group 2 (Gender).
Column B2:B13 represents Group 1, and C2:C13 represents Group 2.
The formula is: =SUMIFS(D2:D13,B2:B13,F3,C2:C13,G2)
