Can't you just omit the final SUMIF term? i.e.:

=IF($A3="",
0,SUMIF(D3:IS3,"="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY ())-6,DAY(TODA*
Y())),F3:IU3))

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately no, b/c it should only be adding up occurances that happened
between 90 days after the date in column A and within 6 months from TODAY().

Pete, I don't know if you remember this or not, but you pretty much put this
together for me about 6 months ago. Again, any help you or anyone else can
offer is appreciated. Thanks again.

Well, your name looked vaguely familiar but I didn't recall giving you that
formula, so I checked into all your previous posts - a lot of other people
contributed to your posts (so you can't blame it all on me !! <bg). And
shame on you - there were a lot of posts where you did not feed back, so it
is uncertain whether you found the solutions workable.

I have difficulty visualising from your formula how your data is laid out.
You are checking the range D3:IS3 to see if it matches the criteria, and
then are summing from F3:IU3, i.e. offset by 2 cells. So, do you have
<date, <something else, <number repeated across the row from column D
onwards?

I'm not sure what the timespan is that you want to sum over. It should be 90
days after the date in A3, but within 6 months from TODAY. So if A3 is 1st
Jan 08, and today is 1st Nov 08 (say), you want to count from 1st May 08 up
to today? Or do you want the time period from 30th Mar 08 (A3 + 90) up to
1st May 08 (6 months before today)?

Pete,

I'm not blaming anything on you, quite the opposite! I wouldn't have gotten
this far without your help. You and I traded a bunch of emails about it and
you helped me out a ton with this workbook. Its used for tracking attendance
policy infractions. Remember?

Thanks again.

Ah yes, Holly, how could I have forgotten? I've just looked up the emails we
exchanged (I rarely delete anything, just move them to other folders !!).

If you like we could continue this off-line again, but you will need to
explain the time-frame that you want the formula to operate over. Using a
few example dates, can you point out how you want the formula to perform?

Nice to hear from you again.

Just for completeness, Holly and I exchanged a few more emails (and
files) and I ended up suggesting this amendment to her formula (which
I think was originally suggested by Bob Phillips):

=IF($A3="",
0,SUMIF(D3:IS3,"="&MAX(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(T ODAY())-6,DAY(TODA*
Y())),($A3+90)),F3:IU3))

This chooses the later of the two dates given by (today - 6 months)
and (start + 90 days), so that the member of staff has a 90 day grace
period during which any lateness penalties are not counted, and then
penalty points are only counted if they occurred within the last 6
months.

(For the archives).
