help with this SUMIF formula (for a budget spreadsheet)

[boxhamster]

Hi,

I can't seem to figure out what the mistake is.
I want to sum up the amounts depending on the type of expense and the month.

	A	B	C	D
1	Date	Item	Category	Amount
2	28.02.2018	Food	Food Shopping	10,00 €
3
4	Month	2
5	Food Shopping

<tbody>
</tbody>

Using this formula:

= SUMIFS(D1:D3;MONTH(C1:C3);B4;C1:C3;B5)

<tbody>
</tbody>

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks

SUMIFS requires ranges so you cant do MONTH(C1:C3). Try this:

=SUMIFS(D1:D3,C1:C3,A5,A1:A3,">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),B4,1),A1:A3,"<"&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),B4+1,1))

For sure not MONTH(C1:C3)
but (if at all then): MONTH(A1:A3)

Moreover the formula shall be probaly commited as array formula (with Ctrl+Shift+Enter , not just Enter)
