SUMIFS function

duggo65

I would like to the sum of one column based on a specific date range in another column.

e.g Need to total costs for June 2018.  I am using the following formula

=SUMIFS(Cost3:Cost29,[End Date]3:[End Date]29,”>=01/06/2018″,[End Date]3:[End Date]29,”<=30/06/2017″)

However it is coming back with an error #UNPARSEABLE.

Try taking out the quotes.

Thanks Paul - removing the quotes did not work.  I am now trying a simpler SUMIF function.  I want to total costs with an end date greater than 1 June 2018 and using the following function:

=SUMIF([End Date]3:[End Date]29, " >1 / 6 / 18", Cost3:Cost29)

this is returning a zero sum. (at least its not an error!)   I have tried with and without quotes.  Could it be something to do with the column data?

Ugh. Totally missed it the first time. When entering formulas in smartsheet, if you surround it in quotes it will look for EXACTLY that. =1+1 in a cell will give you 2. whereas ="1+1" will show as 1+1. When referencing a date you have to use a DAT function. DATE(yyyy,mm,dd). If you put in 7/15/2018 smartsheet will read it as 7 divided by 15 divided by 2018.

Therfore...

=SUMIF([End Date]3:[End Date]29, " >1 / 6 / 18", Cost3:Cost29)

changes to

=SUMIF([End Date]3:[End Date]29, >DATE(2018,06,01), Cost3:Cost29)

 

Notice: No quotes because we are not looking for that specific text. Date format changed to proper Smartsheet language.

 

I must have been a little extra out of it yesterday. My apologies.

Thanks so much Paul - works brilliantly!!!!   Also incorporated this into my original query - problem solved!
