Hello there - I keep forgetting how to think about the logic of these functions. I tried to look across my other workbooks for formulas. I feel like I've done this before so I apologize but I couldn't find the formula hence why I"m posting.

I've searched and using these links and posts as references:
Sum INDEX-MATCH Across Multiple Columns with the Same Heading

Row/ColumnABCDEF
1YesYesYesNoYes
2Yes1020201010
3Yes2122232425
4Yes55555
5No11111
6Yes44444

My spreadsheet might end up being large so I was leaning towards sumifs and index.

Alternative 1:
Sumproduct(B2:F6*("yes"=A2:A6)*("yes"=B1:F1))

This works but I need it on a larger spreadsheet

Alternative 2:
=SUMIFS(INDEX(B2:F6,,,),INDEX(A2:A6,0,1),"yes",INDEX(B1:F1,1,0),"yes")

I can't think about how to structure alternative 2 properly. Can someone link me a post or help me understand alternative 2 and/or how I would go about this?
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
Edit update:
Alternative 3 - sum as an array?
I think I figured it out?
=sum((B2:F6)*(--(A2:A6="yes")*(B1:F1="yes")

It seems to me that both your alternative 1 in your OP and this #3 both return 187.
What's the issue?

how do I get alternative 2 to work? It seems alternative 2 would be most efficient.

Also, alternative 3 seems to be running into issues on a larger spreadsheet? maybe because I need to ensure every cell has a numerical value in it? if that's the case, this seems cumbersome.
