Description

sum-range

reference

Designates the cells whose values are summed. In this case, sum-range does not have to have the same size and shape as cell-range-1 through cell-range-n. The actual cells that are added are determined by using the top, left cell in sum-range as the beginning cell, and then including cells that correspond in size and shape to cell-range-1 through cell-range-n. Each cell in sum-range is summed only if all of the corresponding criteria specified are true for that cell. Cells in sum-range that contain TRUE evaluate to 1; cells in sum-range that contain FALSE evaluate to 0.

cell-range-1

reference

Designates the first range of cells to be inspected.

selection-criteria-1

number, expression, reference, text

Specifies the criteria for the first range of cells that will be counted. In the case of text, selection-criteria-1 can consist of any comparison operator followed by the operand against which each cell's value is to be compared. selection-criteria-1 can include one or more wildcard characters, question mark (?) and asterisk (*). A question mark matches any single character; an asterisk matches any sequence of characters. To search for a question mark, asterisk, or tilde character, prefix that character with a tilde (~).

cell-range-n

reference

The optional arguments selection-criteria-2 through selection-criteria-n have corresponding arguments cell-range-2 through cell-range-n, and have the same semantics as selection-criteria-1 and cell-range-1, respectively.
