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?
No, and it is worth being clear about that. The checker normalises what you type — case, spaces, the semicolon-or-comma separator, dollar-sign anchors — and compares it against every formula that solves the task. The expected result is shown so you can verify it independently in your own spreadsheet.
My formula is different but correct. Will it be marked wrong?
It should not be: each exercise accepts the genuinely different approaches, not one blessed answer. If you find a correct formula that is rejected, the feedback button sends it to us with the page attached.
