DSUM function

PRO BASIC

The DSUM function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a formula that allows you to add together values in a specific column or database, but only those that match certain conditions you set. It's a handy tool when you need to sum up specific data within a larger dataset. For example, you could use DSUM to find the total sales of a particular product, or the sum of expenses in a certain category. Its use helps to streamline data analysis and calculations.

Documentation

The DSUM function adds the numbers in a column or database that meet specified criteria.

Syntax

DSUM(database, field, criteria)

Parameter	Description
`database`	The range of cells that makes up the database.
`field`	The column label that contains the numbers to be added.
`criteria`	The range of cells that contains the conditions you specify. You can use any range for the criteria argument, as long as it includes at least one column label and at least one cell below the column label in which you specify a condition for the column.

Behavior

The DSUM function is used to add selected database entries based on specified conditions. Here are its behaviors:

The DSUM function ignores empty cells in the criteria argument.
It requires that the criteria header matches the field name exactly.
Any text or numbers in the criteria argument that do not match a field name in the database will be ignored.
It treats Boolean values as integers, i.e. TRUE as 1 and FALSE as 0.
If a field name in the criteria argument matches more than one field in the database, the DSUM function will consider only the first match.
If the criteria argument is left empty, DSUM returns the sum of the entire database for the specified field.
If a cell in the database or criteria argument contains an error, the function will return an error.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error occurs if the given field argument is a text that does not match any of the column headers.
#REF!	This error occurs if the field argument is a number and it refers to a column outside of the referenced range in the database argument.
#N/A	This error occurs if the criteria argument does not include at least one labeled row.

Best practices

Always ensure that the criteria header matches exactly with the field name in the database. The function is case-sensitive and will return an error if the criteria header and field name do not match exactly.

Avoid including cells with errors in the database or criteria argument as this will cause the function to return an error.

It is recommended to use absolute cell references when defining the database and criteria arguments, to prevent errors when copying the formula to other cells.

If your criteria include text strings, make sure to enclose them in quotation marks.

Usage

A few examples using the DSUM function.

DSUM(A1:C10,'Age',D1:D2)  
DSUM(A1:C10,'Salary',D1:D1)
