SUMIF Returning Zero Value

[denpkelly]

I am attempting to sum trial balance amounts from one worksheet to another "consolidating" trial balance worksheet. I formula I am using is quite simple.:

=SUMIF('IKO PROD'!C8:C300,"*19002",'IKO PROD'!I8:I300)

In the consolidating trial balance worksheet for each asset, liability, revenue, or expense account I am asking Excel to read the second column of each plant's trial balance containing their chart of accounts, located a few tabs down from the consolidated TB worksheet in the same book. Accounts are ten characters in length, the criteria is defined to wild card the first five digits of the account and sum the corresponding account balance five columns over. The account number column has been formatted to general and the TB account balance, which contains sum formulas, is accounting or numeric. There are blank lines in the TB worksheet separating groupings of accounts.

I have gone online for hours attempting to find a solution, including removing additional spaces in the account number column to clean the sum range.

I would deeply appreciate any help you could provide.

Welcome to the forum.


Seems you are searching for Text against Numbers.

Try this entered as an array (Ctrl, Shift & Enter)

=SUM(IF(MID(C8:C300,6,99)="19002",(I8:I300)))

Should I be converting formats so that both worksheets reflect numerics? What is "MID" and the 6 & 99 in the array? Do not understand what is being structured in the argument. I am sorry for the delay in responding, I have been ill.

By the way, use of your suggested formula returns a "Value" error. I am attempting to research.

Did you enter it using CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER (not just enter)? If so, it will appear with curly brackets {} around it - does it?
