• “SUMIF” function:

- “SUMIF” function returns the SUM of a number of cells if the criteria is met

- In Excel: “=SUMIF(range, criteria, sum_range)” - criteria is often text

• “MATCH” function: - An array is a row or column of numbers- “MATCH” function returns the position of an item in an array that matches a specified value

Then the formula: MATCH (10,C5:C10,0) = 4

Because 10 is the fourth element in the array starting from the left
