Hi All

I just can't get my SUMIF to work here. Perhaps someone can see the error? I would like to sum the totals of actual spends across months but those 'months' don't fall completely inside the calendar month (it's the financial year whereby months have 4 or 5 weeks in them), so I need to do a lookup of some sort as week to determine what date falls within what month.

It works if I only use one criterion, that is the values are taken from the "Forecast Costs" cells but that adds up all of the values. As soon as I try to put in the month criteria, I get $0.00.

Please see attached. I want to sum totals if they fall under "Forecasted Costs" and by Month in the Budget Tracking tab onto the Dashboard tab - the month is to match 'Dashboard'!J4 and below.

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
The issue is that the two criteria need to be met in the same column in order for the value in that same column to be included in the sum. The date criteria are in columns R, V, Z, etc. while the "Forecast Costs" headings criteria are in columns Q, U, Y, etc. Here I've changed the formula to refer to dates in row 4 and copied the Financial Month values into both columns involved in the Forecast Costs and Actual Costs (see yellow cells)...and then populated the table with some values to demonstrate.

Thank you so, so much, Kirk. This has been wracking my brain!! Just a small thing that I didn't know.
