SUMIF variation?

Excel 2003

I have a sheet with col. A being a list of dates and the other columns being
various figures. I know how to use the sumif function to give me totals for
a particular date in col A. How would I do something similar except giving
me sums for all figures within a particular month?



Thanks in advance... Bob

One way might be to have a few frozen rows at the top of your sheet, then
use the AutoFilter to sort the data, and use the SUBTOTAL functions at the
top of the columns to sum the filtered results.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A2:A200)=1),B2:B200)

Note that SUMPRODUCT doesn't work with complete columns, you have to specify
a range.

Thanks. One question though. What are the 2 dashes before the
(MONTH(A2:A2000)?

Dates are in A1:A10
values to summarize are in B1:B10
the month is 2 (FEB):

=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(A1:A10)=2)*(B1:B10))

I am having trouble getting it to work, but first of all it looks like from
the description sumproduct multiplies things. Is this correct? I am just
trying to add up all the sales for a particular month.

The only thing I can think is that the 'date' column has text not dates.

Classically, SUMPRODUCT does multiply arrays, but if you had read that paper
I referenced for you, you would have seen how it's usage has been extended.
