DSUM Formula Syntax

=DSUM(database, "Revenue", criteria_range)

Example Use Case

Adding up values in a database column that match specific criteria

Understanding the DSUM Formula

The DSUM function in Excel adds up values in a database column for records that match specified criteria. It's a database query tool for filtered summation—like calculating total sales for a specific region or time period without creating separate filtered tables.

DSUM(database, "Revenue", criteria_range) totals all revenue from records that meet conditions defined in the criteria range. It takes database, field, and criteria arguments, applying criteria-based filtering before summing—perfect for creating subtotals or analyzing aggregate performance across specific segments.

Why Use DSUM?

DSUM enables filtered summation—think segmented analysis or conditional totals. Its ability to apply multiple criteria simultaneously makes it more powerful than simple SUMIF operations, supporting complex data analysis to calculate sums for precisely defined subsets of your data.

Example with Sample Data

Scenario	Formula	Result
Total sales in North region for Q1	=DSUM(A1:F100, "Sales", G1:H3)	$245,780
Total expenses for Marketing department in 2023	=DSUM(A1:F100, "Expenses", G5:H7)	$128,550
Total inventory value for products in Electronics category	=DSUM(A1:F100, "InventoryValue", G9:H10)	$87,425

DSUM calculates filtered totals: $245,780 total sales for North region in Q1, $87,425 total electronics inventory value. The criteria range defines conditions that must be met for records to be included in the summation. It's a selective summing tool.
