Hi all,

Say I have a spreadsheet listed as follows:

A1 = 03/31/05
A2 = $5.00

B1 = 03/31/05
B2 = $10.00

C1 = 04/01/05
C2 = $20.00

The entire A column is named "Base_Date" and the entire B column is named
"Base_Amount".

I would like a formula that will sum values in the Amount column that
correspond with a specific date range, ie. March only. This formula must
reside in a different worksheet (within the same workbook).

I've tried the following:

=SUM(IF(Base_Date=DATEVALUE("03/01/2005"),IF(Base_Date<=DATEVALUE("03/31/2005"),Base_Amount,0),0))

If I place the formula in a seperate worksheet from the data (as intended),
its value is $35.00 (adds all values in column B) when I'm expecting it to be
only $15.00.

If I place the formula in the same worksheet as the data (not in columns A
or B), its value is reported as 0.

I'm sure I'm missing something miniscule here. Any suggestions?

TIA,
Sleazy

=SUMIF(Base_Date,"="&X2,Base_Amount)-SUMIF(Base_Date,""&Y2,Base_Amount)

where X2 houses the first day date of the month/year of interset like:
03/01/2005 and Y2 one of:

03/31/2005

=DATE(YEAR(X2),MONTH(X2)+1,0)

Thank you very much! Thankfully, my date criteria is static, so the X2/Y2
variables are not needed. I used your formula to achieve the desired result
by moving the closing quotes as follows:

=SUMIF(Base_Date,"=03/01/2005",Base_Amount)-SUMIF(Base_Date,"03/31/2005",Base_Amount)

03/31/2005

Okay, now I have a second, similar problem. Here's my new table:

A1: 03/01/2005
B1: $5.00
A2: 03/05/2005
B2: $12.00
A3: 04/05/2005
B3: $3.00
A4: 03/05/2005
B4: $50.00

As before, the A column is named Base_Date and the B column is named
Base_Amount. I want to modify the SUMIF formula, as used below, so that it
adds only the records associated with the *latest* date in a specified date
range. Referencing the table above, if I specify 03/01/2005 and
<=03/31/2005, the formula should add B2+B4, and not include B1. However, if I
then add the following to the table:

A5: 03/29/2005
B5: $1.00

The formula should only report back B5 for its value, as A5 is the latest
date in the allowed range.

Thanks again in advance.

This really works well. Thanks so much!

It's humbling to know that I just can't grasp the concept of array formulas
at this point of my Excel training. Back to the books!

Did you enter the formula using Control+Shift+Enter or just the Enter key by
itself? The formula requires the 3-key combination to work correctly.

Hi

I have a table where there are multiple entries for the same month and I
want to produce monthly totals. I used the formula above (the MAX IF is
working great) but the SUM IF is only returning one of the amounts per month
rather than adding the different entries. Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I have a similar situation, but with data in rows.
Here is the formula which does not work for me (why?) but when I change
today's date to a number it works.

=SUMIF($AA$3:$CU$3,<$X$1,$AA4:$CU4)

top row AA3 - CU3 contains months.
below row AA4 - CU4 contains values
my objective is to sum all of the values for past months ( in comparison to
current month, which is located in the cell X1)

Thanks, Gus

top row AA3 - CU3 contains months.

In what form? Are they the month names as *TEXT* entrires: Jan, Feb, Mar?

Are they *DATES* formatted to display the month name?

when I change today's date to a number it works.

How are you changing today's date to a number? What number?

Maybe you want something like this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH($AA$3:$CU$3)<MONTH($X$1)),$AA4:$CU4)

The top raw is in the date format ( 1/1/2008 to display Jan-08).
If the date in cell X1 is formated same way as above, the formula does not
work, why?.
Once I change it to <=39814 then the formula works.

The SUMIF function can work with one criteria given. How can I modify a

met?

Hi

Up until XL2003, Sumif takes a single Criterion.
With XL2007, SUMIFS allows multiple criteria.

If you are using 2003 or lower, consider the use of Sumproduct.

=SUMPRODUCT((Range1=X1)*(Range2=Y1)*(Range3=Z1)*Ra nge4)
Where Range 4 is the values to be Summed, the other Ranges are what you are
wanting to match against certain values held in cells X1, Y1 and Z1.
Ensure the Ranges are of equal size, and in 2003 and lower, ranges cannot be
whole columns.

The SUMIF function can work with one criteria given. How can I modify a

Hi

It will work, if you need to change the formula slightly.
dates are stored as serial numbers, hence they will never be "seen" as **
/03/ ****.
You need to compare the Text(date,"mmyyyy") to get your result.

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A8="AAA")*(TEXT(B1:B8,"mmyyyy")="0 32008")*C1:C8)

You don't need parentheses around the C values, as they are your data and
are not being used in any comparison.
Including them, will nit prevent the formula working - they are just not
necessary.

It works when both criteria and formula are in the same worksheet. Thank

Hi all,

B2 = $10.00

C1 = 04/01/05

The entire A column is named "Base_Date" and the entire B column is
named
"Base_Amount".

I would like a formula that will sum values in the Amount column that
correspond with a specific date range, ie. March only. This formula
must
reside in a different worksheet (within the same workbook).

I've tried the following:

=SUM(IF(Base_Date=DATEVALUE("03/01/2005"),IF(Base_Date<=DATEVALUE("03/31/2005"),Base_Amount,0),0))

If I place the formula in a seperate worksheet from the data (as
intended),
its value is $35.00 (adds all values in column B) when I'm expecting
it
to be
only $15.00.

If I place the formula in the same worksheet as the data (not in

or B), its value is reported as 0.

I'm sure I'm missing something miniscule here. Any suggestions?

There's nothing wrong with your formula so that means you have a data
problem. Either your dates aren't true Excel dates and/or your numbers in
column B aren't true numeric numbers.

Dates are really just numbers formatted to look like a date. Try these test
formulas:

=COUNT(A2:A28)

=COUNT(B2:B28)

If every cell in the range B2:B28 contains a true numeric number the COUNT
formula will return 27.

If every cell in the range A2:A28 contains a true Excel date the other COUNT
formula will also return 27.

Sorry to butt in but I have a question on a similar topic:

I have a series of payments recieved entered into a sheet with the date
recieved in 1/1/2009 format displayed as 1-Jan-09 in column B. I am
attempting to sum the corresponding payments in columd D that fall within the
same month. I have another column with dates listed as January, February,
March, ect. I am using the following formula but receiving errors:

=SUMIF(MONTH(B:B), 1, D:D) corresponds to January
=SUMIF(MONTH(B:B), 2, D:D) corresponds to February
....ETC.

Where is my logic flawed? I've tried entering it with additional
parenthesis with no luck.

If the date in cell X1 is formated same way as above, the formula does
not
work, why?.
Once I change it to <=39814 then the formula works.

top row AA3 - CU3 contains months.

In what form? Are they the month names as *TEXT* entrires: Jan, Feb,
Mar?

Are they *DATES* formatted to display the month name?

when I change today's date to a number it works.

How are you changing today's date to a number? What number?

Maybe you want something like this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH($AA$3:$CU$3)<MONTH($X$1)),$AA4:$CU4)

Hi,

I have a similar situation, but with data in rows.
Here is the formula which does not work for me (why?) but when I
change
today's date to a number it works.

=SUMIF($AA$3:$CU$3,<$X$1,$AA4:$CU4)

top row AA3 - CU3 contains months.
below row AA4 - CU4 contains values
my objective is to sum all of the values for past months ( in
comparison
to
current month, which is located in the cell X1)

Thanks, Gus

Hi all,

Say I have a spreadsheet listed as follows:

A1 = 03/31/05
A2 = $5.00

B1 = 03/31/05
B2 = $10.00

C1 = 04/01/05
C2 = $20.00

The entire A column is named "Base_Date" and the entire B column is
named
"Base_Amount".

I would like a formula that will sum values in the Amount column
that
correspond with a specific date range, ie. March only. This formula
must
reside in a different worksheet (within the same workbook).

I've tried the following:

=SUM(IF(Base_Date=DATEVALUE("03/01/2005"),IF(Base_Date<=DATEVALUE("03/31/2005"),Base_Amount,0),0))

If I place the formula in a seperate worksheet from the data (as
intended),
its value is $35.00 (adds all values in column B) when I'm
expecting
it
to be
only $15.00.

If I place the formula in the same worksheet as the data (not in
columns
A
or B), its value is reported as 0.

I'm sure I'm missing something miniscule here. Any suggestions?

TIA,
Sleazy

Try it like this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(B1:B10)=1),D1:D10)

Unless you're using Excel 2007 you can't use entire columns as range
references with the SUMPRODUCT function.

Sorry to butt in but I have a question on a similar topic:

I have a series of payments recieved entered into a sheet with the date
recieved in 1/1/2009 format displayed as 1-Jan-09 in column B. I am
attempting to sum the corresponding payments in columd D that fall within
the
same month. I have another column with dates listed as January, February,
March, ect. I am using the following formula but receiving errors:

=SUMIF(MONTH(B:B), 1, D:D) corresponds to January
=SUMIF(MONTH(B:B), 2, D:D) corresponds to February
...ETC.

Where is my logic flawed? I've tried entering it with additional
parenthesis with no luck.

There's nothing wrong with your formula so that means you have a data
problem. Either your dates aren't true Excel dates and/or your numbers in
column B aren't true numeric numbers.

Dates are really just numbers formatted to look like a date. Try these
test
formulas:

=COUNT(A2:A28)

=COUNT(B2:B28)

If every cell in the range B2:B28 contains a true numeric number the
COUNT
formula will return 27.

If every cell in the range A2:A28 contains a true Excel date the other
COUNT
formula will also return 27.

I think my request is simpler than all I've seen here and yet I can't
get
it
to work (it always gives me an anser of 0). In column A I have dates
in
mm/dd/yyyy format, in column B I have amounts. I only want to sum the
amounts in column B if they correspond to a date which is less than or
equal
today's date. Here's what I came up with (which doesn't work):
=SUMIF(A2:A28, "<="&TODAY(), B2:B28)

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

It should. Try it like this:

=SUMIF($AA$3:$CU$3,"<="&$X$1,$AA4:$CU4)

Hi I have a similar issue that I cannot resolve. I wish to summarise all
values by date (for a cash collection spreadsheet) for example

A1 B1
Date Ammount
1/1/9 10
1/1/9 15
2/1/9 12
3/1/9 7

I would like to see the following result in another range of cells:
1/1/9 25
2/1/9 12
3/1/9 7
