sumif use

[steve alcock]

Hi,

I want to use sumif in the following way :

SUMIF(purchases!O18urchases!O500,"=b21",purchases!
Q18urchases!Q500)

and not :

SUMIF(purchases!O18urchases!O500,"=01960",purchases!
Q18urchases!Q500)

in otherwords I want to use the value of the cell b21 to
look up and not the typed in value ( 01960 ) can this be
done ?

thanks

steve

Why not
=SUMIF(purchases!O18urchases!O500,B21,purchases!Q18urchases!Q500)
?

As a pedagogical exercise???

The OP could see how to change the formula to look for greater than (or any
other comparison operator).

Just my guess.
