Hello,
I entered this formula in CALC:
=SUMIF(B4:B2379,OR("=2017","=2018","=2019"),D4:D2379)
I get #VALUE! as a result. What is wrong?
Sincerely,
Nikola
Concerning the separator between arguments (parameters), please consider to also read Why do I often get an error (508, 504, 502 e.g.) if I paste a Calc formula from some post into my sheet? .
If the spreadsheet document is set to use RegularExpressions, and B4:B2379contains numeric strings or numbers which will be automatically converted, the formula =SUMIF(B4:B2379;“2017|2018|2019”;D4:D2379) would do.
The OR function is not usable in this case because it is not capable of retujrning an array.
However there is a way to replace it with a bit of arithmetic and a single comparison on the first parameter position: =SUMIF((B4:B2379=2017)+(B4:B2379=2018)+(B4:B2379=2019) >0;TRUE();D4:D2379)
This version is supposed to be less efficient, butt it will also work if the option to use RegularExpression is disabled.
{=SUMIF(ISNUMBER(FIND("!" & B4:B2379 & “!” ; “!2017!2018!2019!”)) ; TRUE() ; D4:D2379)} is also an option.
That was useful, thank you very much!
