I would like to a formula for 3 sums:
  1. Votes where Biden has the greater projected vote share
  2. Votes where Trump has the greater projected vote share
  3. Votes where the percentages are equal.
The table on the right has the correct totals. It shows which cells should go it each category. But I would like an expression that will work for the whole table. The one below is just a few rows.

This gets a zero: =SUMIFS(Table25[Electoral Votes],Table25[Projected Vote Share Biden],F9>G9)

This gets a #VALUE error: =SUMIFS(Table25[Electoral Votes],Table25[[Projected Vote Share Biden]:[Projected Vote Share Trump]],F9>G9)

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
You could use sumproduct:

Excel Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(Table25[Electoral Votes],--(Table25[Projected Vote Share Biden]>Table25[Projected Vote Share Trump]))

You could use sumproduct:

Excel Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(Table25[Electoral Votes],--(Table25[Projected Vote Share Biden]>Table25[Projected Vote Share Trump]))
That works, thanks. If there to way to use SumIfs?

Not without helper columns because the criteria you are passing are True/False values, and none of your columns contain True/False.
