See Bob's post and use a cell reference instead of typing in the date.
=sumif(range,a1,range)

The SUMIF works. However, my criteria is =10/24/05 so that I can get the
sum
of the work done on that day. I want to use this same formula for every
work
day through the end of the year. Is there an easier way to do this than
typing the date into the formula every time I carry it into a new cell?

Perhaps the SUMIF function will work for you? If not, certainly a
SUMPRODUCT
formula could be devised. Post back if sumif doesn't do it.

I've been reading the discussions trying to find an instance where
someone
has asked about this before and I can't seem to find anything.

The sheet that I have has the date that the work was done and how many
units
were completed per map section. So there could be multiple rows with
that
date on it. What I'm trying to figure out is if there is a way to
have
Excel
search for a date and then get all of the units done that day, even if
they
are on multiple rows. Then I can calculate how many units per day are
being
done. I don't know how to do VBA, so everything I've been doing is
using
cell formulas. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance for your help!
