How to Sum Only Positive Numbers in Google Sheets

To sum only positive numbers in Google Sheets, you can use the SUMIF function. The SUMIF function allows you to set a condition for the values you want to add together. In this case, the condition is that the values must be greater than 0.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to sum only positive numbers in Google Sheets:

1. Open your Google Sheet.
2. Click on the cell where you want the sum to appear.
3. Type the following formula: =SUMIF(range,">0"), where range is the range of cells containing the numbers you want to sum.
4. Press Enter to apply the formula.

For example, if you have a list of numbers in cells A1 to A10 and you want to sum only the positive numbers, the formula would be =SUMIF(A1:A10,">0").

Example

Let's say you have the following list of numbers in column A:

A
1  -5
2  10
3  -3
4  7
5  -1
6  4
7  0
8  -2
9  3

To sum only the positive numbers, follow these steps:

1. Click on cell B1 (or any other cell where you want the sum to appear).
2. Type the following formula: =SUMIF(A1:A9,">0")
3. Press Enter to apply the formula.

The result should be 24, which is the sum of the positive numbers (10, 7, 4, and 3).
