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.

One way...

B13 = lower date boundary
B14 = upper date boundary

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A20:A1000=B13),--(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.

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

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

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