Hi.

I need to sum some numbers and all these are linked to accounts.

Lets say I have accounts in column a:

4001
4002
..
4998
4999

and I want to sum values from column b in groups ranging from eg.
4230-4239, where the boundries of these ranges are defined elsewhere.

The accounts are ussually ground in 10s, i.e. from 4230 to 4239 is
related to the same "thing".

=sumif(col a, Rangeproblem, col b)

How do I solve the range problem?

A guess

=SUMIF(A:A,">=4230",B:B)-SUMIF(A:A,">4239",B:B)

That would be a sloution, but I would prefer to take the range ends fro
two separate cells. Something like
=sumif(A:A, and(A:A>=C1,A:A<=C2), B:B)

any ideas

You can't do that with SUMIF unless you use 2007 and then there is a new
function called SUMIFS, nevertheless you can use

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10000>=C1),--(A1:A10000<=C2),B1:B10000)

note that you cannot use the whole column so you need to specify the range
