Thumbs up Answer: Sum values if date is before today

Hi there!

To sum the time taken if the date has already passed, you can use the SUMIFS function in Excel. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Select an empty cell where you want to display the result.
  2. Type the following formula:
    Formula:
    =SUMIFS(D11:D376B11:B376"<"&TODAY()) 
  3. Press Enter.

This formula will sum the values in column D (time taken) if the corresponding date in column B is less than today's date.

Let me explain the formula in more detail:

- SUMIFS: This is the function that will sum the values based on the criteria you specify.
- D11:D376: This is the range of values you want to sum.
- B11:B376: This is the range of dates you want to use as criteria.
- "<"&TODAY(): This is the criteria you want to use. The "<" symbol means "less than", and "&TODAY()" means today's date. So, the formula will only sum the values in column D if the corresponding date in column B is less than today's date.

Hope this helps!
