Hi-

I'm trying to do a simple sumif formula for s&p ratings such as AA+ and AA-, but when i'm using it in the formula I think excel is confusing the "+" as an excel function.

Below is the formula i've put together. RATING_AVAIL is a ratings array which contains various s&p ratings. and MVAI is the market value array. I'm trying to take a sum market values where rating_avail = "AA+" or "AA" or "AA-"

=SUM(IF((RATING_AVAIL="AA+")+(RATING_AVAIL="AA")+(RATING_AVAIL="AA-",MVAI,0),0)))


Thank you in advance

You can try CHAR(43) for the + but it shoudl be fine since it's enclosed in quotes.

Edit: Looking at your formula, you're trying to add true or false statements. Are you trying to add all three of them like a =SUMIF?

Such as:

<TABLE style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; PADDING-LEFT: 2pt; PADDING-RIGHT: 2pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,Arial; FONT-SIZE: 11pt" border=1 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 30px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><COL style="WIDTH: 64px"><COL style="WIDTH: 64px"></COLGROUP><TBODY><TR style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><TD> </TD><TD>D</TD><TD>E</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 18px"><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">31</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Rating</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Number</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 18px"><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">32</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">AA+</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">3</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 18px"><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">33</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">AA</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">4</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 18px"><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">34</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">AA-</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">5</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 18px"><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">35</TD><TD> </TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">12</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
