Question

I’m trying to write an formula using WriteExcel

=SUMIF(J3:J54;"=xxx";H3:H54)

but that code:

$sheet->write_formula($row+1, 0, "=SUMIF(J" . ($row-($row-3)) . ":J" . ($row-2) . ";\"=xxx\";H" . ($row-($row-3)) . ":H" . ($row-2) . ")");

ends with

Unknown defined name SUMIF in formula at test.pl line 196

But when I print out that formula (using print) I got exactly the same string as wanted one (calculations on $row are good)

I’m pretty sure this code should work

Answer 1

You need to us the US style union operator “,” instead of the European style “;”:

=SUMIF(J3:J54,"=xxx",H3:H54) 

If you modifiy your formula string to replace ; with , it will work. I tested it.
