sum rows if another column has the word 'yes' in it using google sheets

:) I'm trying to learn google sheets and there is something that I want to do and I can't figure out how.

A   B
5   yes
3   no
    yes
2   yes
    yes
5   no
    no
3   no
    yes
    yes
3   yes
    no
    no
5   no

=SUM(A1:A14)

as you can see in this example i have two columns

A - a number B - yes or no

at the bottom I added =SUM(A1:A14) and it sums column A properly.

what If i want to sum column A only on rows that has yes in column B?

how can I do that ?

thanks!

try:

=SUM(QUERY(A:B; "select A where B='yes'"; 0))

or:

=SUM(FILTER(A:A; B:B="yes"))

or:

=INDEX(SUM(IF(B:B="yes"; A:A; )))

=SUMIF(B:B,"yes",A:A)

And if you expand into more columns, than =SUMIFS() will allow multiple conditions.
