Why is my SUMIF function not working with formatted table? - excel-formula

I want to create a formula to sum 2020 visits only, but I don't know why this does not work:
=SUMIF(Web_Metrics[Date],YEAR(Web_Metrics[#Date])=2020,Web_Metrics[amazon.com - Visits])
I have tried without the #, with the year in "2020" but with no success
Thanks for your help

You cannot do changes to the data in the ranges. SUMIF takes a range and not an array which is what YEAR(Web_Metrics[#Date]) does.
You will need to use SUMIFS and bracket the dates:
=SUMIFS(Web_Metrics[amazon.com - Visits],Web_Metrics[Date],">="&DATE(2020,1,1),Web_Metrics[Date],"<"&DATE(2021,1,1))

Excel Date Countifs

I need to count all dates that are "less than" today to see which work is overdue. I understand that this can be done simply with
=countif(F:F,"<"&TODAY())
However, the dates in Column F are formatted like "12/05 - Evening" instead of just "12/05". Because of this, the formula is not picking up anything. Does anyone know how to change this code so that it counts any cell that contains dates prior to today, even if there is other text in the cell? I've tried playing around with these "**", but can't get it to work.. Thank You!
So based on my comment I would get the date by using left() with find() like so:
LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)-1)
Then format as short date and it behave as a date.
From comment:
Use a helper column and separate the date out then use the countif() on that column

Using WEEKDAY function inside a COUNTIFS

I want to count the times John was in the blue room and it was a thursday. I played with COUNTIFS and WEEKDAY and checked the documentation.
I tried COUNTIFS with two conditions but got errors or 0 as a result.
As #Gary'sStudent said with the column with the day already in place you do not need the WEEKDAY a simple COUNTIFS will work:
=COUNTIFS(B:B,"Thursday",C:C,"John")
If you did not have that column then you would need to revert to the SUMPRODUCT() formula similar to what #Gary'sStudent has:
=SUMPRODUCT((WEEKDAY(A4:A17)="Thursday")*(C4:C17="John"))
Both formulas will work, the main difference is that the COUTNIFS() is not an array formula, and therefore you are able to use full column references without detriment. The SUMPRODUCT, to minimize calc times, one would need to reference only the dataset.
Consider:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B4:B17="Thursday")*(C4:C17="John"))
You do not need WEEKDAY() because you have a column that specifically defines each day.

SUMPRODUCT several ifs

I´ve spent a lot of time with a formula in Excel and I´m still blocked. I hope you can help me.
I have a table in Excel with several values as shown in this
screenshot.
What I´m trying to extract is the number of Fruits sold in a specific month. That is, how many lemons were sold in January 2016, for example. This is the formula I´m using:
=SUMPRODUCT((B3:B38=E4)*(MONTH($A$3:$A$150)=12)*(YEAR($A$3:$A$150)=2015);$C$3:$C$150)
But the result is #N/A as seen in the screenshot.
What Am I doing wrong? Any help, please?
Thanks a lot in advance!
You can use arrays in excel to get this answer
{SUM(IF(MONTH(F$3&"1")=MONTH($A$3:$A$150),IF($E4=$B$3:$B$150,$C$3:$C$150,0),0))}
You can use this Sumproduct formula which uses array logic:
SUMPRODUCT((MONTH($A$3:$A$38)=MONTH(TEXT(G$2,"MMM")&1))*($C$3:$C$38=$F4)*
($D$3:$D$38))
Sumproduct Demo
Part of your problem is your ranges are not equal in length. B3:B38 has to be the same number of rows as $A$3:$A$150 and C3:C150. When rows are not equal things blow up on you.
=SUMPRODUCT(($B$3:$B$150=$E4)*(MONTH($A$3:$A$150)=12)*(YEAR($A$3:$A$150)=2015);$C$3:$C$150)
if you change your header row to be actual excel date format, and then change the cell display format to just show the month (as suggested by csanjose), then you can adjust your sumproduct formula as follows and copy to all cells in your table.
=SUMPRODUCT(($B$3:$B$38=$E4)*(MONTH($A$3:$A$150)=Month(F$3))*(YEAR($A$3:$A$150)=Year(F$3));$C$3:$C$150)
Fill your month-row with the last day of each month, then apply date format to show only month name.
The formula you should use is, for example, in g8:
=SUMIFS($C:$C;$B:$B;$E8;$A:$A;"<="&G$3;$A:$A;">"&F$3)
First column "F" doesn't have a column on the left to compare, so you can put a date in E3 or change a bit the formula (example of F8):
=SUMIFS($C:$C;$B:$B;$E8;$A:$A;"<="&F$3;$A:$A;">2015/12/31")
Take a look at the result
If you don't want to use a pivot table, you can use this formula to get what you need:
=SUMPRODUCT(($B$3:$B$150=$E3)*(MONTH($A$3:$A$150)=1)*(YEAR($A$3:$A$150)=2015)*$C$3:$C$150)
Then drag-fill the cell to copy it to every month column (just make sure you change the month number in the formula (and year if you're doing that too)), and then drag-fill down the columns.
That should work pretty food good :)
Good Luck!

Sumif Amounts Based on Months for Multiple Months

I have excel data in the following format
Date Amount
01-Jan-16 23.94
12-Jan-16 17.96
26-Jan-16 32.92
03-Feb-16 38.90
20-Feb-16 62.27
26-Feb-16 45.89
I would like to sum the amount field for specific months, that is I would like to sum up the amount in January and also in February separately.
This is the code I have tried thus far which I found in a previously asked question (see Excel Formula to SUMIF date falls in particular month).
=SUM(IF(MONTH(A:A)=1,B:B,0))
It works for January but when I change 1 to 2 it returns zero.
=SUM(IF(MONTH(A:A)=2,B:B,0))
Would sumifs work better?
Here are two other ways of doing it:-
=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(A2:A10)=1)*B2:B10)
and
=SUMIFS(B2:B10,A2:A10,">="&DATE(2016,1,1),A2:A10,"<"&DATE(2016,2,1))
Change as necessary to get totals for other months.
I have put the results next to the original array formula in this screen shot:-
Use specific range rather than full column. You must use the formula as array formula.
=SUM(IF(MONTH($A$2:$A$1000)=1,$B$2:$B$1000,0))
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to evaluate the formula as array formula.

Excel - Sum column if condition is met by checking other column in same table

I am trying to create spreadsheet to use in a small retail shop.
I have a workbook which contains expenses figures on a sheet and income figure on another sheet.
We can say that the common ground between the both sheets are the month.
I would like to write a function, which will only select those expenses of a specified month.
Something like -
=SUM(IF( Table4[Month]="January", Table4[Amount]))
// I want the sum of all expenses of a given table for only
// those months which are january etc.
I tried using the above, but it failed.
Actually a more refined solution is use the build-in function sumif, this function does exactly what you need, will only sum those expenses of a specified month.
example
=SUMIF(A2:A100,"=January",B2:B100)
This should work, but there is a little trick. After you enter the formula, you need to hold down Ctrl+Shift while you press Enter. When you do, you'll see that the formula bar has curly-braces around your formula. This is called an array formula.
For example, if the Months are in cells A2:A100 and the amounts are in cells B2:B100, your formula would look like {=SUM(If(A2:A100="January",B2:B100))}. You don't actually type the curly-braces though.
You could also do something like =SUM((A2:A100="January")*B2:B100). You'd still need to use the trick to get it to work correctly.
SUMIF didn't worked for me, had to use SUMIFS.
=SUMIFS(TableAmount,TableMonth,"January")
TableAmount is the table to sum the values, TableMonth the table where we search the condition and January, of course, the condition to meet.
Hope this can help someone!
