Excel thinks that > is an operator, i want it as a string

=SUMIFS(L19:L678, J19:J678, ">TEXT", K19:K678, "TEXT")

Is the formula and I want it to look for >TEXT but it thinks I am saying greater than text, how do I get around this?

Try this version with an additional "="

=SUMIFS(L19:L678, J19:J678, "=>TEXT", K19:K678, "TEXT")

Well, you can perhaps use something like that:

=SUMIFS(L19:L678, J19:J678, "*>TEXT", K19:K678, "TEXT")

Though this will sum if you have A>TEXT as well. Otherwise, you might try:

=SUMPRODUCT((J19:J678=">TEXT")*(K19:K678="TEXT")*(L19:L678))
