SUMIFS with multiple criteria variable

I just discovered here that I can use SUMIFS with multiple criterias, which is really cool.

But there is any way to set a variable to the criterias?

Example: instead of writting

=SUM(SUMIFS(sum_range,criteria_range,{"red","blue"}))

I would like to put the text "red" on the cell A1 and write:

=SUM(SUMIFS(sum_range,criteria_range,{A1,"blue"}))

Thank you

If your range of values is A1:A2, try using that as the third (Criteria1) argument, and pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER instead of just ENTER.

=SUM(SUMIFS(sum_range,criteria_range,A1:A2))

This will produce an array formula and you should see brackets surround the formula afterwards.

{=SUM(SUMIFS(sum_range,criteria_range,A1:A2))}
