31. In Microsoft Excel, which function can you use to conditionally sum values based on multiple criteria across different ranges?

The SUMIFS function in Microsoft Excel is designed to sum values in a range based on one or more criteria across multiple ranges. Unlike SUMIF, which considers only a single condition, SUMIFS allows for multiple conditions. The function syntax is SUMIFS(sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2], ...), making it ideal for complex conditional summing where multiple criteria are to be met across different data columns. This makes it more versatile and powerful for detailed data analysis compared to SUM, SUMIF, and SUMPRODUCT, although SUMPRODUCT also allows for complex calculations and could be used similarly but requires different syntax and setup.
