Hi,

Change the ranges to suit

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A20<"")*(A1:A20<=TODAY())*(B1:B20 ))

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

I have cells with dollar values from formulas and i am trying to place
the
total of all those values in another cell based upon the current date
backwards. An IF gives me a #name result. I know i am not using the
Date
command properly, but i can't figure out how to do it. can anyone help
me?
I used =IF(Date<=TODAY, sum(. ... Or is there a better way to do it?
What
i want is if the date is today or inthe past to add the dollar values
in the
cells, but not the ones that are in the future.
