Simplify this long formula-simple?

[kendel]

Please simplify this for me, it works fine but sure is ugly It's a sum of 7 SUMIF's.

=SUM(SUMIF(D:D,D5,C:C)
+SUMIF(D:D,D6,C:C)
+SUMIF(D:D,D7,C:C)
+SUMIF(D:D,D8,C:C)
+SUMIF(D:D,D9,C:C)
+SUMIF(D:D,D10,C:C)
+SUMIF(D:D,D11,C:C))

I tried (D:D,D5:D11,C:C), that didn't work and I don't know enough about this to try anything else. Just curious mostly.

Hello

Try;

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(D:D,D5:D11,C:C))
