Not sure if this is just a limitation of SUMIFS (happy to be given the bad news), but I'm struggling to get it to work with a couple of table columns.

I'm trying to use the following formula in cell B1, with the intention of dragging it down so that it'll tell me how many hours have been logged within the named months
=SUMIFS(OTJLog[OTJ Hours],OTJLog[Activity date dd/mm/yyyy],">="&BB21,OTJLog[Activity date dd/mm/yyyy,"<="&EOMONTH(BB21,0)))

The table it's drawing it's data from is here

C10:D15Custom=ISNUMBER(C10)
F10:F15List=Lookups!$D$2:$D$47


It works if I specify the range (e.g., C10:C15) but not if I try to reference the table column itself. The issue is, the table will expand, a lot, so I can't specify a range without just making the table enormous as a precaution, which I don't really want to do. Is this just a limitation of SUMIFS? Is there another solution, using SUMPRODUCT for example?
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
=SUMIFS(OTJLog[OTJ Hours],OTJLog[Activity date dd/mm/yyyy],">="&BB21,OTJLog[Activity date dd/mm/yyyy,"<="&EOMONTH(BB21,0)))
Try, I think there was some Typo in formula
Excel Formula:
=SUMIFS(OTJLog[OTJ Hours],OTJLog[Activity date dd/mm/yyyy],">="&BB21,OTJLog[Activity date dd/mm/yyyy],"<="&EOMONTH(BB21,0))
