I have a "Data" Excel table that i need to have columns summed up with multiple criteria and presented on two "Summary" Excel tables.

"DataTable" Table:

<table>
<tr>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Transaction Type</th>
<th>Contribution Type</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7/12/2018</td>
<td>sp</td>
<td>ec</td>
<td>23.56</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7/12/2018</td>
<td>sp</td>
<td>aa</td>
<td>1.101</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7/12/2018</td>
<td>sp</td>
<td>am</td>
<td>4.4059</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7/13/2018</td>
<td>lt</td>
<td>ec</td>
<td>3.298</td>
</tr>
</table>

"TransactionTypeSummary" Table:

<table>
<tr>
<th>Date</th>
<th>lt Total (Formula)</th>
<th>lt Total (Result)</th>
<th>sp Total (Formula)</th>
<th>sp Total (Result)</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7/12/2018</td>
<td>SUMIFS(DataTable[Quantity],DataTable[Date],[@Date],DataTable[Transaction Type],"lt")</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>SUMIFS(DataTable[Quantity],DataTable[Date],[@Date],DataTable[Transaction Type],"sp")</td>
<td>29.0669</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7/13/2018</td>
<td>SUMIFS(DataTable[Quantity],DataTable[Date],[@Date],DataTable[Transaction Type],"lt")</td>
<td>3.298</td>
<td>SUMIFS(DataTable[Quantity],DataTable[Date],[@Date],DataTable[Transaction Type],"sp")</td>
<td>0</td>
</tr>
</table>

"ContributionTypeSummary" Table:

<table>
<tr>
<th>Date</th>
<th>ec Total (Formula)</th>
<th>ec Total (Result)</th>
<th>aa Total (Formula)</th>
<th>aa Total (Result)</th>
<th>am Total (Formula)</th>
<th>am Total (Result)</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7/12/2018</td>
<td>SUMIFS(DataTable[Quantity],DataTable[Date],[@Date],DataTable[Contribution Type],"ec")</td>
<td>23.56</td>
<td>SUMIFS(DataTable[Quantity],DataTable[Date],[@Date],DataTable[Contribution Type],"aa")</td>
<td>1.101</td>
<td>SUMIFS(DataTable[Quantity],DataTable[Date],[@Date],DataTable[Contribution Type],"am")</td>
<td>4.4059</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7/13/2018</td>
<td>SUMIFS(DataTable[Quantity],DataTable[Date],[@Date],DataTable[Contribution Type],"ec")</td>
<td>3.298</td>
<td>SUMIFS(DataTable[Quantity],DataTable[Date],[@Date],DataTable[Contribution Type],"aa")</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>SUMIFS(DataTable[Quantity],DataTable[Date],[@Date],DataTable[Contribution Type],"am")</td>
<td>0</td>
</tr>
</table>

For each summary table, for the match to occur, the row's date has to match and the type has to match as well. Is there an alternate way to sum these values without using the very slow SUMIFS function?

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).

I would count SUMIFS as quite a fast function.
What makes you say it is slow?
How big are your tables?
Are you sure you don't have other functions that might be slowing your sheet down more than the SUMIFS?

Whilst SUMPRODUCT can do the same job as SUMIFS, in my testing it is slower than SUMIFS, and it is calculation time that seems to be the problem for the OP.
