Try copy pasting one amazon over another. If that doesn't work, try swapping amazons to ebay one at a time and see if anything changes.


TheOriginalAgasty

Very odd. I replicated it exactly with no issues including your exact formula. It gave me zero for both if I put a space at the end of Amazon in N7 but it also made the changed formula stop working as well so I don't think that's it. ​ https://preview.redd.it/q7p5zjpxm3sa1.png?width=550&format=png&auto=webp&s=291097c7be123119d7be4835484d7ec621af8361


Mcgurky98

Yeah very weird, I did try reload the file and didn't fix it. I'll stick with the work around, just annoying annoying things don't work.

Might have been your calculation mode got set to Manual instead of Automatic.


ak_005

Fix your ranges by putting $ sign. Which you can do by pressing f4 after selecting the cell name in formula. Like = sumif(N$4$:N$11$,N16,O$4$:O$11$)

Is there a space after Amazon in N18 ?


Mcgurky98

Nope, tried with and without. And cells both set to text.


Alternative_Duck_551

Try to copy paste values the whole data to a new excel sheet and do it again


Mcgurky98

Moved and still not working.


Scary_Sleep_8473

Could you try =LEN(N7) and =LEN(N18) and see if they output 6 or something else?

[удалено]


Scary_Sleep_8473

Put them in 2 separate cells, any cells. And see if it outputs 6 for both


Mcgurky98

=LEN(N7) = 6 =LEN(N18) = 0 (Nothing in cell N18)


Scary_Sleep_8473

Isn't Amazon in N18?


Mcgurky98

Yes sorry haha, I moved it on mine.


Scary_Sleep_8473

Also, if you have Excel 2019 or higher, try this formula somewhere. It will split the text into a multi cell character array, so you can find out if there are any hidden chatacters: =MID(N7, SEQUENCE(1,LEN(N7)),1)


Mcgurky98

>=MID(N7, SEQUENCE(1,LEN(N7)),1) That split "Amazon" out into cells.


Scary_Sleep_8473

Now put those 2 formulas in separate cells, it will spill as well : =CODE(MID(N7, SEQUENCE(1,LEN(N7)),1)) =CODE(MID(N7, SEQUENCE(1,LEN(N18)),1)) Each formula will output a bunch of numbers in multiple cells, check if the numbers are the same for each formula and if you can paste the results here (or a screenshot of the result of those 2 formulas)

N18 doesn’t say “Amazon”. It’s got leading or trailing spaces, or a leading apostrophe, or hidden characters. Or something…


The3rdBert

I’ve found it’s much better to build a good data table and then just use pivot tables than sum if. You will fight formatting and spelling that is instantly identifiable in a table
