Excel 2007 Functions

One of the great aspects of the Excel 2007 is the new functions. I have used COUNTIF and SUMIF numerous times and often found I wanted to do multiple criteria, i.e. sum if revenue is for this month and for this store. To achieve this before 2007 you had to jump throuhg numerous hoops and it all became very complex.

The great news is that SUMIF and COUNTIF functions have been extended to take more than one criteria. These are implemented using SUMIFS and COUNTIFS. These both can take up to 256 criteria (more than I can imagine anyone ever needing). 

You can now produce very complex summary sheets very easily.
