[Bug 794352] Re: sumif adds values inconsistently

 

Sorry for the bother, I discovered it's not a bug but an error in my
part relating to range sizes.

I couldn't recall the original report so please disregard. This isn't a
bug.

Thanks.

** Description changed:

- 
- I have a table where I am trying to add values based on a column code criteria where I want to view the sum of values given a code.  In my spreadsheet (see attached file), values under are being summed up incorrectly, while it appears to be working fine for other columns.

  The formula I use:
  =sumif(Sheet1!$B2:$F8,"="&$B10,Sheet1!D2:D9)
  
  I thought my error had to do with the use of a text string in the code
  column, and the function may have been expecting an integer but after
  changing the code column to numeric integers, there were less errors but
  I'm still getting incorrect results.
  
  The function behaves incorrectly when encountering 2 vs 20, 7 vs 70, or
  with single digit numbers and the corresponding double-digit number that
  starts with the same (1 and 10, 3 and 30, 4 and 40, etc.) The sumif
  criteria works with strings and integers, but produces inconsistent
  results when these numbers are found in a criteria range.
  
  Note;
- When I say string, I mean I enter the number as "'02" instead of just "2". The former is treated as numeric value, the latter a character string.

  I hope the attached spreadsheet below can help explain further.
