You can use the following formula in Excel to sum all values in a range that are less than a particular value:
=SUMIF(B2:B13, "
This particular formula sums all of the values in the range B2:B13 that are less than 100.
The following example shows how to use this formula in practice.
Example: Use “Sum If Less Than” in Excel
Suppose we have the following dataset in Excel that contains information about sales made by various employees at some company:
We can use the following formula to sum all of the values in the Sales column that are less than 100:
=SUMIF(B2:B13, "
The following screenshot shows how to use this formula in practice:
We can see that the sum of the values in the Sales column that are less than 100 is 168.
Note that you could also use a cell reference in the formula.
For example, we could use the following formula to sum the values in the Sales column that are less than the value in cell D2:
=SUMIF(B2:B13, "D2)
The following screenshot shows how to use this formula in practice:
We can see that the sum of the values in the Sales column that are less than 100 is 168.
Note: To calculate the sum of values equal to or less than a certain value, use “ in the formula instead.
