I am trying to determine the best way to look up potentially large amounts of data, and I dont know if sumifs on an entire column (like A:A) is any slower than a specific range (A1:A300) for example.
SUMIFS is not an array formula & while I would normally recommend only using the used range in a formula, the ...IF & ...IFS formula do that themselves so there shouldn't be difference in performance
thank you. Is there any difference in performance between sumif and sumifs? If I concantenated my criteria into one criteria to only have on lookup criteria, is that faster than having two seperate columns of criteria?
