sum with 2 criteria
With the below eqn do the dates have to be a cell reference or is it possible
to use a specific date? One way =SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A50="Department"),--(B2:B50=D2),--(B2:B50<=E2),C2:C50) where D2 hold the start date, E2 the end date and C2:C50 the amount/values to sum -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please) "Dave" wrote in message ... I have an excell sheet that gets updated daily with submissions from different departments, what i want to do is to use a formula to submission by the department and between two dates |
You can use both, but it's bad practice to hardwire anything into your
formulas. Your variables should always be visible and easily editable, and you can save yourself a lot of heartache by ensuring that they are. I tend to flag input variables with a blue bold font to show that they have dependencies on them, and also to highlight what/where they are. It generally makes the sheet easier to read, and ensures the key variables stand out instantly. -- Regards Ken.......................
