Formula to calculate Monthly Total

Shile

I am trying to get the Total Amount for January only, but I keep getting 0.

My sheet has dates up to Dec, and I created a helper column to filter months, but I can't get it to work. I used this formula:

=SUMIFS([Total Amount]1:[Total Amount]17, Date1:Date17, IFERROR(MONTH(@cell), 0) = [Helper Month Column]@row)

Any idea what I am doing wrong? screenshot attached. Thanks

Hi @Shile

The MONTH Function returns months as numerical values (ex. January = 1, not "January"). This means that if you're looking to see if the Date cell has January, you'll want to look for 1.

MONTH(@cell) = 1

Try this instead:

=SUMIFS([Total Amount]1:[Total Amount]17, Date1:Date17, IFERROR(MONTH(@cell), 0) = 1)

You could actually delete out your helper column in this instance! Let me know if that works and makes sense.

Cheers,
