SUMIF? Question

Erik L

I am trying to write a formula to sum up numbers within the last 30 days in a sheet summary. So my argument =SUMIF([Entry Date]:[Entry Date], ">" TODAY() -30,[House Holds Served]:[House Holds Served]). Honestly I am still very new to formulas and have gone through the Academy online for this step but it is still showing as unparseable. You guys helped me with my last question and I figured this would be easier to figure out but it is not.

You don't need quotes around the greater than argument.

Ok I took out the quotes and now receive a invalid operation.

Paul Newcome

Ok. Let's check the column types. Is the [Entry Date] column a date type column, and how exactly is it populated?

I figured it out so. My Date column was a text column not a date. Once I switched it to a date it works perfectly. Thank you for your help
