I am trying to use sumif to form a summary page as a Year to date from a
summary on each of twelve month worksheets which have a sumary using the
sumif on each page. This is my formula
=SUMIF(Jul:Jun!B54:F58,A4,Jul:Jun!D54:D58)
it just comes up with #VALUE. What is wrong with the formula.
I am using the same formula on each of the individual months sheets and it
works.

=SUMIF(Jul:Jun!B54:F58,A4,Jul:Jun!D54:D58)

There's a typo in the range "Jul:Jun!B54:F58"
It should be a single col reference, not multiple

Try either:
=SUMIF(Jul:Jun!B54:B58,A4,Jul:Jun!D54:D58)
=SUMIF(Jul:Jun!F54:F58,A4,Jul:Jun!D54:D58)

depending on which col the data to match with A4 resides,
in col B or in col F

Have you tried these formulas? Obviously not. SUMIF doesn't accept 3D
references as either first or third arguments. Those arguments must be
*range* references, and range references are *always* restricted to a single
worksheet.

This has been discussed many times before. You must have missed those
threads. Here's link for reference.

Next time test before posting.

Yes, my mistake in this instance (usually I do test)
I missed out the "3D" part of it in the refs

Next time test before posting.
Roger, 10-4 !
And thanks for the refresher link ..

Here's a 2nd try (apologies for the earlier mistake) ..

In your summary sheet
-------------------------------
Suppose you list in B3:C3
the names of the sheets: Jun, Jul
you could try say,

In B4:

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&$B$3:$C$3&"'!B54:B5 8"),$A4,INDIRECT("'"&$B$3:
$C$3&"'!D54:D58")))

The above will return the same results
as doing a total of the 2 SUMIFs
(from the sheets: Jun and Jul)

=SUMIF(Jun!B54:B58,$A4,Jun!D54:D58)+SUMIF(Jul!B54: B58,$A4,Jul!D54:D58)
