Hello
i need help with a function

i have 3 columns
A is a date like jan 2012, feb 2012, ... and so on
B is an expense 10,00$, 20,00$, .... and so on
C is a category like Fuel, House, DIY, Car Repair, ... and so on

i need a function that sums all the expenses on a certain category in a year



Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!

Hi Lapo Zanuso

SUMPRODUCT will be the way to go, as SUMIF/SUMIFS cannot accept arrays. If you need to sum by year, the SUMIF and YEAR functions cannot be used together. Assuming your data is set up as your post:

Col A = Date
Col B = Expense
Col C = Category

Axample:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(A1:A100)=2012),--(C1:C100="DIY"),B1:B100)

Hi Kevin, thanks it works perfecly, and i thought i could transfer it to
Google Spreadsheet but there it dosent work anymore... do you have any
suggestion?

Solved for Google Spreadsheets using:
=SUM(FILTER(B:B;YEAR(A:A)=2012;C:C="DIY"))
