I have a series of dates and values:
8.12.2018 12
5.2.2019 32
15.7.2019 89
I would like to use something like (SUMIFS(YEAR(A1:A3);2018) but it's not allowed.
I know, I could extract the year in a separate column, but here I want to ask, if it's possible inside the sumifs function?
Although I thought you couldnt, it has proven by #forwardEd, you can alter criteria in such a way to use SUMIFS, however, you could also look into SUMPRODUCT for this exercize:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(A1:A3)=2018),B1:B3)
Assuming your dates are valid excel dates and not dates as strings/text then you can use the SUMIFS formula for a year as follows:
=SUMIFS(B1:B3,A1:A3,">="&date(2018,01,01),A1:A3,"<="&date(2018,12,31))
Basically the formula is saying sum all the values in B1:B3 where the date in A1:A3 is greater than or equal to the first day of the year AND less than or equal to the last day of the year. I choose to write the date using the date function as it is easier to recognize than the integer format of the date. If you want to write just the year as a criteria in say cell c2 then replace 2018 in the above formula with c2.
UPDATE
I have not tested it but since the default for a date without time is 00:00:00 it would mean the formula above would cut off December 31 with almost any sort of time associated with it. Therefor the better cut off would be less than January 1st of the following year instead of less than or equal to December 31st. As such you could revise the above formula to:
=SUMIFS(B1:B3,A1:A3,">="&date(2018,01,01),A1:A3,"<"&date(2019,01,01))
or
Where C2 is the year as an integer
=SUMIFS(B1:B3,A1:A3,">="&date(C2,01,01),A1:A3,"<"&date(C2+1,01,01))
Alternative approach (a little bit less elegant solution, but might be more clear to less advanced users):
=SUMIFS(B1:B4,A1:A4,">="&"01/01/2018",A1:A4,"<="&"31/12/2018")

I am trying to find a (reasonably elegant) formula to find out how often a date appears in a list of date ranges.
In my example I have 4 date ranges, defined by a start date (A2:A5) and by an end date (B2:B5). Below I have a list of dates for which I would like to know how often a date appears in any of those 4 ranges. The only solution I came up with was to check for each range if the date is in there. The formula becomes quite lengthy with the number of periods and is not flexible if more periods are added later.
Here the time periods:
And here where I try to retrieve the number of matches given a date:
My formula is here for B11 (yielding 3 given the input of 10/Sep/2021):
=IF(AND($A11>=$A$2,$A11<=$B$2),1,0)+IF(AND($A11>=$A$3,$A11<=$B$3),1,0)+IF(AND($A11>=$A$4,$A11<=$B$4),1,0)+IF(AND($A11>=$A$5,$A11<=$B$5),1,0)
Any ideas appreciated!
Using COUNTIFS:
=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$5,"<="&A11,$B$2:$B$5,">="&A11)
I have excel data in the following format
Date Amount
01-Jan-16 23.94
12-Jan-16 17.96
26-Jan-16 32.92
03-Feb-16 38.90
20-Feb-16 62.27
26-Feb-16 45.89
I would like to sum the amount field for specific months, that is I would like to sum up the amount in January and also in February separately.
This is the code I have tried thus far which I found in a previously asked question (see Excel Formula to SUMIF date falls in particular month).
=SUM(IF(MONTH(A:A)=1,B:B,0))
It works for January but when I change 1 to 2 it returns zero.
=SUM(IF(MONTH(A:A)=2,B:B,0))
Would sumifs work better?
Here are two other ways of doing it:-
=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(A2:A10)=1)*B2:B10)
and
=SUMIFS(B2:B10,A2:A10,">="&DATE(2016,1,1),A2:A10,"<"&DATE(2016,2,1))
Change as necessary to get totals for other months.
I have put the results next to the original array formula in this screen shot:-
Use specific range rather than full column. You must use the formula as array formula.
=SUM(IF(MONTH($A$2:$A$1000)=1,$B$2:$B$1000,0))
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to evaluate the formula as array formula.
i have multiple columns in my excel spreadsheet (DOLLAR, Date, Year), i am trying to get the values in column DOLLAR, if the DATE is greater than 01 Jan 2014, and the YEAR is 2014.
I tried sumproduct, countifs, if, match and even combinations of them but i cant seem to get the value of DOLLAR based on the criteria. how would i go about doing this? i am still a bit new to this so i don't quite know all the functions yet.
i have something like this right now, also all the DOLLAR value that meets the criteria will all be summed up.
=IF('CDT DWGS-2014'!F:F=2014,IF('CDT DWGS-2014'!Q:Q>DATEVALUE("01-Jan-2014"),"GET DOLLAR VALUE",0),0)
Thank you
Ok, given your extra comments, I also tried to make it a bit more robust for you, so suppose, in your sheet you had:
A1 = Start Date
B1 = End Date
And in your CDT DWGS-2014 sheet, the Dollar amounts were in column A and the dates were in column B, You could use the following formula:
=SUMIFS('CDT DWGS-2014'!A:A,'CDT DWGS-2014'!B:B,">="&A1,'CDT DWGS-2014'!B:B,"<="&B1)
This could be made simpler, but this should do the trick.
Hope this helps!!
Use this formula. Column A, B and C are for DOLLAR, Date and Year respectively.
=SUMPRODUCT(A2:A11,--(B2:B11>DATE(2014,1,1)),--(C2:C11=2014))
I have a set of data that looks something like this:
11/8/12 5:20
11/7/12 15:57
11/7/12 13:51
11/7/12 10:47
11/7/12 8:00
Just in Excel, I want to be able to count the number of rows with 11/8/12, and the number of rows beginning in 11/7, etc. I have a pretty long list of dates and times, but I'm only interested in the dates.
I tried =COUNTIF(A1:A235, "<11/8/12 5:20") to get everything before 11/8, but obviously this doesn't work because I need to type in the time. Does anyone know how to:
1) make the timestamp irrelevant?
2) somehow search for rows that "contain" a certain date value and count up the rows that contain that value?
You can insert in a cell e.g. F7 the date which should be used
and then your formula will look like this
=COUNTIF(E8:E12;"<"&F7)
And then in case that your F7 will contain 11/7/12 14:00 the countif will return 3
NOTE: expecting the british date 11/7/12 is dd/mm/yy
EDIT: Date function
When I've seen another answer, I would like to show another approach, which is culture safe. Whenever we will put some strings representing dates, it could happen that a collague has different regional settings (e.g. British dd/mm/yy vs US mm/dd/yy)
That's why I placed the date into separated cell, representing the Date regardless of the culture. If that all have to be placed inside one cell, the correct approach is to use Date function
=COUNTIF(E8:E12;"<"&DATE(2012;7;11)+TIME(14;0;0))
In Excel dates are integers and the time is a fractional value so you can simply count between one date and the next (date +1) to get everything on a single date, e.g. for everything on 11/7
=COUNTIF(A1:A235, ">=11/7/12")-COUNTIF(A1:A235, ">="&"11/7/12"+1)
or in Excel 2007 or later you can use COUNTIFS
=COUNTIFS(A1:A235, ">=11/7/12",A1:A235,"<"&"11/7/12"+1)
for either one you can use a cell reference with the date as Radim suggests, i.e. with date in B1
=COUNTIFS(A$1:A$235,">="&B1,A$1:A$235,"<"&B1+1)
With that last version you can simply list all your dates in B1 down, and then use the formula in C1 copied down to get counts for each date
So I have a cell with 7/6/2012 10:26:42 inputted, I want to show the date difference from today in another cell.
I tried to extract 7/6/2012 with =LEFT(A1, Find(" ", A1, 1) -1) but turned out theres a value error.
The formula works when I make A1 '7/6/2012 10:26:42, however it is not ideal because I have to work with the whole column.
You can use the datedif function to find out difference in days.
=DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"d")
Quote from excel.datedif.com
The mysterious datedif function in Microsoft Excel
The Datedif function is used to calculate interval between two dates in days, months or years.
This function is available in all versions of Excel but is not documented. It is not even listed in the "Insert Function" dialog box.
Hence it must be typed manually in the formula box.
Syntax
DATEDIF( start_date, end_date, interval_unit )
start_date from date
end_date to date (must be after start_date)
interval_unit Unit to be used for output interval
Values for interval_unit
interval_unit Description
D Number of days
M Number of complete months
Y Number of complete years
YD Number of days excluding years
MD Number of days excluding months and years
YM Number of months excluding years
Errors
Error Description
#NUM! The end_date is later than (greater than) the start_date
or interval_unit has an invalid value.
#VALUE! end_date or start_date is invalid.
If that's a valid date/time entry then excel simply stores it as a number (days are integers and the time is the decimal part) so you can do a simple subtraction.
I'm not sure if 7/6 is 7th June or 6th July, assuming the latter then it's a future date so you can get the difference in days with
=INT(A1-TODAY())
Make sure you format result cell as general or number (not date)
For the difference between A1 and Today's date you could enter:
=ABS(TODAY()-A1)
which returns the (fractional) number of days between the dates.
You're likely getting a #VALUE! error in your formula because Excel treats dates as numbers.
DAYS(start_date,end_date):
For example:
DAYS(A1,TODAY())
Why don't you just make it easy and simple. If I need to know the number of days between today and say, March 10th, 2015, I can just enter the simple formula.
Lets say the static date is March 10th, 2015, and is in cell O5.
The formula to determine the number of days between today and O5 would be, =O5-Today()
Nothing fancy or DATEDIF stuff. Obviously, the cell where you type this formula in must have a data type of 'number'. Just type your date in normally in the reference cell, in this case O5.
=ROUND((TODAY()-A1)/365,0) will provide number of years between date in cell A1 and today's date
*In all instances the # refers to the cell number
You really don't need the datedif functions; for example:
I'm working on a spreadsheet that tracks benefit eligibility for employees.
I have their hire dates in the "A" column and in column B is =(TODAY()-A#)
And you just format the cell to display a general number instead of date.
It also works very easily the other way: I also converted that number into showing when the actual date is that they get their benefits instead of how many days are left, and that is simply
=(90-B#)+TODAY()
Just make sure you're formatting cells as general numbers or dates accordingly.
Hope this helps.
