It works for me. Check to make sure that the dates in your range are actual
dates and not just text.

I have a sumif function to return a report from a worksheet and would like
to
make the condition refer to another cell (in the same workbook).

E.g.

This works...

A2: =SUMIF(A5:A100,"=11/01/07",E5:E100)

But this doesn't...

A1: 11/01/07
A2: =SUMIF(A5:A100,"="&A1,E5:E100)

A5: 11/20/07
A6: 12/20/07
A7: 08/20/07
...

How do I make the condition be that the range has to be greater than the
date in cell A1?

Thanks for your help.
