The comparison operator in the 2nd SUMIF should be "greater than".

Either will work but the "greater than" comparison seems more intuitive (at
least, to me!).

The comparison operator in the 2nd SUMIF should be "greater than":

=SUMIF(A20:A1000,"="&B13,C20:C1000)-SUMIF(A20:A1000,""&B14,C20:C1000)

If you want to sum based on a date range:

b13 = lower boundary date
b14 = upper boundary date

=SUMIF(a20:a1000,"="&b13,c20:c1000)-SUMIF(a20:a1000,"=<"&b14,c20:c1000)

Note that the boundary dates are included in the sum.

How do you write a sumif formula using a range for the criteria. For
example:
=sumif(a20:a1000,b13:b14,c20:c1000) which does not seem to work. My
spreadsheet has a series of dates in column a with corresponding values
column c and I want to sum column c for a particular range of dates
defined
by b13 and b14. A typical range would be a month. My spreadsheet will
have
dates and values and I want to determine sums for certain months.
