» Summing A Dynamic Range of Numbers According To Criteria

CATEGORY: Summing
Problem:

Column A contains an ascending list of numbers.
How could we create a formula that will sum up all the numbers in column A larger than 2,
and will automatically update the result upon the addition of numbers to the list?

Solution:

Use the MATCH, COUNTIF and OFFSET functions, in the following SUM formula:
=SUM(OFFSET(A2,MATCH(C2,A2:A10,0),0,COUNTIF(A2:A10,"">""&C2)))

List1

Mis-statement of problem?

This formula works just fine:
=SUMIF(A2:A10,">2",A2:A10)
It seems as if the problem statement omits some vital information. What role does C2 have in all this?
look at the screen shot

if you check out the screen shot, c2 is where the "2" comes from.
