Help with SUMIF using multiple rows - wrong calculation

**lulugonlolo** · 10-08-2012, 07:12 PM

Hello. Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided. I've been searching and working with this all day.

I'm attempting to add the number of medications a technician fills per day over a 6 day period:

=SUMIF('Pharmacy Work Log'!C2:AB2,A3,'Pharmacy Work Log'!C3:AB3)+SUMIF('Pharmacy Work Log'!C2:AB2,A3,'Pharmacy Work Log'!C7:AB7)

'Pharmacy Work Log'!C2:AB2 - Refers to the initials of all of our technicians. A3 refers to the technicians initials for which I want to add their medications filled (on a different sheet of the same workbook).

'Pharmacy Work Log'!C7:AB7 - Refers to the number of medications filled.

For the first SUMIF formula in my function I get correct calculations. When I add (+) additional "sumIf", the calculations get thrown off. I am attempting to add from 6 non-consecutive rows: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23.

See attached for example:

Technician AB filled 804 medications for days 10/3 and 10/4. For some reason however the calcuation is retrieving 784 (sheet3)?

The function wizard doesn't indicate any error. This is driving me bananas!

Thanks very much, I really appreciate any insight.
