    You should only refer to one column in the criteria range:
    =SUMIF(F2:F13,F2,J2:J13)
    or if you specifically want Pat:
    =SUMIF(F2:F13,"Pat",J2:J13)
    for example.
    Everyone who confuses correlation and causation ends up dead.

    I did forget to mention that the result in the above formula (which works) eventually gets divided by another cell Ex:=SUMIF(F2:F13,"Pat",J2:J13)/N6
    If the value in N6 is 0 I get the /DIV0! error

    What I can I add to the above formula to hide the error

    Thanks

    Depends what you want returned:
    =IF(N6=0,"",SUMIF(F2:F13,"Pat",J2:J13)/N6)
    for example.

    you may substitute any text or number for the word "nil" like 0, or even empty space for which you have to give "".

    Note that IFERROR does not exist in versions prior to 2007. You would need to use:
    =IF(ISERROR(formula),"error value",formula)
