Actual vs. fx results
Posted by Rob Potts on November 15, 2001 2:00 PM
=SUM(IF($B$18:$B$97<=C$4,$R$18:$R$97))
The result for this formula within the cell is the sum of R18:R97 with no adjusment for the condition. When I hit the fx button on my tool bar when the cell is chosen, the result I get in the paste function menu is correct because it takes into account the condition (<=C$4). Why would the results be different? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Just a guess, but are you on manual calculation?

=SUMIF($B$18:$B$97<=C$4,$R$18:$R$97)?? (nt)

=SUM(IF($B$18:$B$97,<=C$4,$R$18:$R$97))
Try
=SUM(IF($B$18:$B$97," < ="&C$4,$R$18:$R$97))
with no spaces.
Or better yet,
=SUMIF($B$18:$B$97," < ="&C$4,$R$18:$R$97)
again without the spaces around the less than.
It is probably just adding cells that are not equal to the value the text "<C$4"

Make that...
=SUMIF($B$18:$B$97, "<="&C$4,$R$18:$R$97)

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them tomorrow at work. In the mean time, does anyone have an inkling as to why the answer in the paste function menu is different that the actual result?
Once again, thanks for the input
Rob
