Total only the rows that match, with SUMIF
Aggregating a slice of the data instead of all of it — the step from a total to a report.
The data
| Row number | A | B | C |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Region | Rep | Deal value |
| 2 | West | Ava | 4200 |
| 3 | East | Liam | 3850 |
| 4 | West | Noah | 5100 |
| 5 | North | Mia | 4650 |
| 6 | West | Ethan | 2300 |
| 7 | East | Sofia | 6100 |
Your task
Put a formula in E2 that totals the deal values for the West region only.
Your formula goes in E2
The checker compares your formula against the accepted answers — it does not run it. The expected result is shown with the solution so you can verify it in your own spreadsheet.
Why this is the right formula
SUMIF puts the tested range first and the summed range last; SUMIFS reverses that order, which is the single most common mix-up between them. Both are accepted here because both are right. Note that the criterion is not case-sensitive, so "west" would match too.

Questions
Does this actually run my formula?
The checker normalises case, spaces, argument separators and dollar-sign anchors, then compares your formula with a reviewed list of accepted answers. It does not evaluate the formula. Copy the data into your spreadsheet to verify the expected result independently.
Can a correct formula be rejected?
Yes. The accepted list includes several reviewed approaches, but cannot recognise every equivalent formula. Compare an unlisted solution with the expected result in your spreadsheet and use the page feedback if an accepted answer is missing.
