Sumif criteria
In the criteria section of the Sumif formula if I reference a date (ex.
"<A3") I do not get the correct answer but if I in put the serial number of that date (ex."<39251") I do get the correct response. Why is this? |

Sumif criteria
hi
the sumif formual is looking for what is between the double quotes literally and the cell does not contain A3. write your formula criteria more like this.... =sumif(search range,"<"&A3, sum range) the ampersand concatinates the less than sign and the value in A3.
