Problem Scenario

Your SUMIF formula returns 0 or incorrect totals even though matching values clearly exist in your data range.

Solution Steps

1. Check criteria syntax - use quotes for text: ">=100"
2. Verify sum_range and range have same number of rows
3. Use SUMIFS for multiple criteria instead
4. Check for hidden characters in criteria text
5. Ensure numeric values aren't stored as text
