I have a bunch of columns with dollar values. I want to add the sum of all
the values for rows that meet a single condition. If possible, I'd like to
create a named a range that includes all the non-contiguous dollar value
columns and use a single SUMIF(). In my test, I named this range DOLLARS.

The formula =SUM(DOLLARS) does work fine and adds up ALL the values.

To test the SUMIF(), I set up a column (named range "decision") with yes/no
values. I get a #VALUE error when I try the formula
=SUMIF(decision,"=yes",dollars).

I looked at some of the posts for array functions and I can't really tell if
an array formula would fix this problem. Is this possible to do as a single
function, or do I have to have something like this:

=SUMIF(decision,"=yes",dollars1)+SUMIF(decision,"=yes",dollars2)...

Thanks for your help.

What are the individual range addresses that make up DOLLARS?

What is the range address that makes up DECISION?

Well, my dummy test and the real document are set up differently.

Dummy test:

Decision = D4:D18
Dollars = E4:E18, G4:G18, I4:I18

Real document:

Customer Funding Category:
F:F

Material Costs:
I:I, M:M

What I think Biff was asking about was what is the logic behind the
non-contiguous cell choices?
As an quick example, this takes the sum of every 4th row that has a
corresponding text of "Add"

=SUMPRODUCT(--(NOT(MOD(ROW(A1:A20),4))),--(B1:B20="add"),(A1:A20))

Then you can get away from the use of named ranges.

Well, the non-contiguous range DOLLARS presents a problem.

Just because a range has a defined name doesn't mean you *have* to use that
name!

Here's how I would do it...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Decision="yes"),E4:E18+G4:G18+I4:I18)
