Calculating total monthly precipitation values using SUMIF function to specify date window - excel

I've got an excel sheet with dates in one column (daily) and total precipitation values for that date in another column from 01/01/2000 to 31/12/2021.
I want to calculate the total monthly precipitation values from 2000 to 2021.
The formula I have been using after some research online was (which I was planning on iterating over the months):
=SUMIFS(B2:B8036,C2:C8036,"<="&DATE(2003,9,1),C2:C8036,">="&DATE(2003,9,30))
The values I want to sum (precipitation) are in the B column, the dates are in the C column. However, I get a zero value returned in the cell when I run the formula, even though the actual value should be 131.94.
I'm not sure what mistake I made in my formula.

My operators were wrong, changing it to
=SUMIFS(B2:B8036,C2:C8036,">="&DATE(2003,9,1),C2:C8036,"<="&DATE(2003,9,30))
solved my problem.

How to make criteria in AVERAGEIFS update automatically?

I am trying to make my AVERAGEIFS criteria update automatically according to the day of the year (in this case only for 2014). My original AVERAGEIFS formula works perfect =AVERAGEIFS($B$2:$B$35041,$A$2:$A$35041,">=1/1/2014",$A$2:$A$35041,"<1/2/2014"), but I have to manually edit it for each day of the year.
I have tried modifying formulas I have seen in other posts here, but no luck so far. I want to average the values in column B (Amount) for each day in column A (Date). I have 96 time slots for each day of the year, hence the 96 entries in column A with the same date, e.g. 1/1/2014 and so on until 12/31/2014. How can I modify the formula so that it automatically adjusts the day when I drag it down?
Here is a screenshot of the data:

Any help is much appreciated!
EDIT: Updated formula below; I had misread the original question as to how your data was formatted. You can put this formula in B2 and copy down.
=AVERAGEIFS($B$2:$B$35041,$A$2:$A$35041,">="&$A2,$A$2:$A$35041,"<"&($A2+1))
Your original comparison operator hardcoded a date as a string. We can simply concatenate the value of a cell into that comparison string instead.
Granted, this will do the same calculation for each of the 96 entries for each of the days in your sheet. You could add a second sheet for the averages with just the distinct days of the year listed in A and an average calculation in B.
EDIT 2:
If your entries in column A have fractional date information (i.e. with hours, minutes, and seconds), converting the dates to integers will drop any fractional component:
=AVERAGEIFS($B$2:$B$35041,$A$2:$A$35041,">="&INT($A2),$A$2:$A$35041,"<"&INT($A2)+1)

Excel formula for finding average value in a discountinue serie of dates

I am extracting data from an account statement which you can see simplified in the image in the columns A:B in red:
On A the date (in order ascending but not necessarily incremental by one) and often duplicated due to multiple account entries) and on B the fund value.
If there are days missing, the fund value is the one of the last displayed day
=> I need to for each row on C, the average of fund since the first entry of the series (January 1st).
I can do it easily if I bring to a sequential order the fund values as I did in columns G:H but I would like to avoid this method and find a formula that placed in columnC gives me the average value. Possibly no VBA
Thanks
----ADDED---
the result I would like to see and the file example
http://www.filedropper.com/example_29
How about the following formula:
=(IF(DAY(A3)-DAY(A2)>=1,(C2*DAY(A2)+B3+((DAY(A3)-DAY(A2)-1)*B2))/DAY(A3),C2))
Note that the dates need to be in subsequent order and field C2 needs to be hard-coded for my solution to work.

Month-to-date totals

I have an Excel workbook that has several different worksheets in it. The one worksheet that contains the main data has 100's of entries. This sheet also gets a new entry every day in the row column. The first column is the date column that is formatted as date and time.
I need a formula that checks the newest entry's date to see if its month matches the current month and then sums all entries for that month. I know that I am going to use a SUMIF but the hard part is the rest of the formula. I forgot to mention that I need the formula to divide by the number of current month entries used.
Assuming your dates are in A1:A26 and amounts to be summed are in in B1:B26 here is the formula to use.
=SUMIFS(B1:B26,A1:A26,">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1),A1:A26,"<="&TODAY())
This returns the amounts that are in a date that is greater than or equal to the first day of the current month, AND less than or equal to TODAY.
There are a couple ways you could do this and I would suggest using sumproduct formula.
I'm assuming your data has dates in column A starting in row 2, and a value in column B.
In column C you could have a total in each line which is the sum of all rows above the current one that the month matches.
Formula in C2 would be below which can be carried down
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A2)=MONTH($A$2:A2)),$B$2:B2)
Otherwise if you have a single cell and just want to get the latest total this formula would do it. This assumes the latest entry will also be the newest date (highest value)
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(MAX(A:A))=MONTH(A2:A1000)),B2:B1000)
In sumproduct the first part of the formula --(A=B) returns true or false values which equate to 1s and 0s. The second part is just your value columns.
The second formula does the same thing but it compares the month of the newest date to all others in the column.

Since new entries are added daily I am assuming these are in date order ascending, so please try:
=SUMIF(A:A,">"&EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1),AD1:AD100)
or adjust the AD range to suit (could use AD:AD).

Referencing data table by criteria

I'm trying to use a similar formula as in Using QUARTILE in an Excel pivot table to summarise data by sub-populations into Excel 2013.
The syntax is: =MAX(IF(Model[MHH]=10112,Model[Ta],""))
It is supposed to get the maximum value of all the Ta (outdoor temperatures) at the first hour of the day in january only. The data table is called "Model" and contains the hourly values of three years, with [M] for Month, [HH] for hour. I would like to do the same with the PERCENTILE function, so a DMAX function will not work.
I calculated the Month value and the Hour value together to get a value for the "month-hour" to make it possible to refer to one criterium, a combination of month and hour, in the following format:1MMHH to make it possible for the value to be a number.
However if I execute the formula, it returns #VALUE.
If I evaluate the formula it give this error at Model(MHH), while if I just use the formula =MAX(Model(MHH)) it does give the maximum of all the values.

Excel SUMIF between dates

I have column A with date values formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. I am trying to sum the values of column B if A >=DATE(2012,1,1) AND
=SUM(B:B) sums B properly, but if I try to use =SUMIF(B:B,A:A>=DATE(2012,1,1)) the value returned is 0.00. I'm assuming this has something to do with using decimal for the sum and date type for the criteria. Is there a way to get around this?
Thanks
You haven't got your SUMIF in the correct order - it needs to be range, criteria, sum range. Try:
=SUMIF(A:A,">="&DATE(2012,1,1),B:B)
To SUMIFS between dates, use the following:
=SUMIFS(B:B,A:A,">="&DATE(2012,1,1),A:A,"<"&DATE(2012,6,1))
I found another way to work around this issue that I thought I would share.
In my case I had a years worth of daily columns (i.e. Jan-1, Jan-2... Dec-31), and I had to extract totals for each month. I went about it this way: Sum the entire year, Subtract out the totals for the dates prior and the dates after. It looks like this for February's totals:
=SUM($P3:$NP3)-(SUMIF($P$2:$NP$2, ">2/28/2014",$P3:$NP3)+SUMIF($P$2:$NP$2, "<2/1/2014",$P3:$NP3))
Where $P$2:$NP$2 contained my date values and $P3:$NP3 was the first row of data I am totaling.
So SUM($P3:$NP3) is my entire year's total and I subtract (the sum of two sumifs):
SUMIF($P$2:$NP$2, ">2/28/2014",$P3:$NP3), which totals all the months after February and
SUMIF($P$2:$NP$2, "<2/1/2014",$P3:$NP3), which totals all the months before February.
this works, and can be adapted for weeks or anyother frequency i.e. weekly, quarterly etc...
=SUMIFS(B12:B11652,A12:A11652,">="&DATE(YEAR(C12),MONTH(C12),1),A12:A11652,"<"&DATE(YEAR(C12),MONTH(C12)+1,1))
One more solution when you want to use data from any sell ( in the key C3)
=SUMIF(Sheet6!M:M;CONCATENATE("<";TEXT(C3;"dd.mm.yyyy"));Sheet6!L:L)
