Can you add up cells that have returned TRUE as the answer to SUMIF formula

[zoepryce]

Can you add up cells that have returned TRUE as the answer to SUMIF formula? I'm getting a value error. Thanks

no
you could use a countif , as each occurance will be a 1
=COUNTIF(range with the true / false in,TRUE)

i'm assuming the same column
or do you want to sum a different column base on the other column row having a TRUE
then sumif() will work

=SUMIF(range with true in,TRUE,range with numbers to sum)

Book2
	A	B
1
2	TRUE	1
3	TRUE	5
4	FALSE	4
5	FALSE	3
6	COUNT	SUM
7	2	6

A7	A7	=COUNTIF(A2:A5,TRUE)
B7	B7	=SUMIF(A2:A5,TRUE,B2:B5)

otherwise

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone

In the Blue total boxes, I wanted to add up the ones that show TRUE. So the yellow ones are pulling through but not the green ones- any idea why? I've just got the formula in as =P4+U4+Y4. Thank you

dont understand - from the image

dont understand - from the image

Trying to see how many number 1's are showing true, how many number 2's are showing true etc,

 

[etaf]

you can add TRUE as you have done

Not sure why you have a value - I suspect because the TRUE is not a logical true - but text

also with the layout not sure why
=P4+U4+Y4

if column A - 1 is P
then B-1 is T and X

	J	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z	AA	AB

2			1	2	3	4	1	2	3	4	1	2	3	4	1	2	3	4
3			0	1	0	0		TRUE
4			0	0	3	0			TRUE				TRUE				TRUE
5			0	0	0	0
6			0	0	0	0
7			0	0	0	0

@zoepryce, you are not closing out any of your threads so we can't tell if you have working solution or not.
Also ideally provide a sample of your data using XL2BB. If you resort to an image at least include the Row and Column references.

See if the below works for you.
(not sure I have the columns aligned to your data but its my best guess from the image and formula your provided)

If you need it to work on pre:MS 365 change the SUM to SUMPRODUCT

Book1
	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z
1	Total				A				B				C
2	1	2	3	4	1	2	3	4	1	2	3	4	1	2	3	4
3	1	2	0	0	TRUE					TRUE				TRUE
4	0	0	0	3				TRUE				TRUE				TRUE
5	0	0	1	0							TRUE
6	0	1	1	0		TRUE	TRUE

Use COUNTIFS?
