Everyone knows SUM. After all, it was almost certainly the first function you learnt in Excel.
While it's useful for calculating a whole column of numeric values, that isn't always what you want.
A frequent task is to total up a column based on one or more conditions, and there are two functions for this: SUMIF and SUMIFS.

=๐๐๐ผ๐ธ๐ต๐(๐๐๐_๐๐๐๐๐,๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐_๐๐๐๐๐,๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐,...)

SUMIF is used to sum the Sales rows where the corresponding values in the Region column are equal to 'North'. However, it's then decided an additional criterion is needed to only consider Month rows equal to 'Mar'. This is where SUMIFS comes in. The only fundamental difference is SUMIF handles a single criterion, whereas SUMIFS can deal with multiple criteria. However, it can cause confusion because the ๐๐๐_๐๐๐๐๐ argument comes last in SUMIF but first in SUMIFS. Why? SUMIFS appeared in Excel 2007 as an alternative to SUMIF. As SUMIFS was made to support up to 127 criteria, it probably didn't make much sense to put ๐๐๐_๐๐๐๐๐ last, hence the position change. Is it time SUMIF was removed? Oh, and COUNTIF, for that matter.
