SUMIFS ER function
The SUMIFS function returns a Real value that represents the sum of values that were returned by bindings of format elements and collected when the format elements were used to generate an outbound document during the format run, and that satisfies the specified conditions. Each condition consists of a key range and a key value.

The Collected data key name property can be configured for either a Numeric component or a String component of an ER format that resides under the Common\File component where the Collect output details option is turned on.
condition 1 range: String
A value that is returned by the expression that has been configured in the Collected data key name property of an ER format component. This argument is mandatory.
The Collected data key name property can be configured for either a Sequence component or an XML Element component of an ER format that resides under the Common\File component where the Collect output details option is turned on.
condition 1 value: String
A value that is returned by the expression that has been configured in the Collected data key value property of an ER format component. This argument is mandatory.
The Collected data key value property can be configured for either a Sequence component or an XML Element component of an ER format that resides under the Common\File component where the Collect output details option is turned on.
condition N range: String
A value that is returned by the expression that has been configured in the Collected data key name property of an ER format component. These additional arguments are optional.
