    Post Malfunctioning =sumif() formula

    I am really stumped at why a sumif formula ALWAYS returns zero.

    The basic formula is:

    =sumif($a$5:$a20,"<=$b$1",$b5:$b25)*$c$1

    Column A contains sequential dates
    Cell B1 has a terminating date
    Cells B5:B25 have values of mileage travelled on dates corresponding to column A
    Cell C1 has a value at which those mileages should be valued

    I have attached a sample Excel spreadsheet showing the layout.

    =SUMIF($A$5:$A25,"<="&$B$1,$B$5:$B25)
    =SUMIF($A$5:$A25,"<="&$B$1,$B$5:$B25)*$C$1
    36
    =SUMIF($A$5:$A26,"<="&$B$1,$B$5:$B26)
    =SUMIF($A$5:$A26,">="&$B$2,$B$5:$B26)*$C$2

    Nope! Now, it just flags an error in the formula!

    Re: Malfunctioning =sumif() formula

    I used this....
    =SUMIF($A$5:$A25,"<="&$B$1,$B$5:$B25)
    and it returned 20

    Note that your 2nd formula needs to be...
    =SUMIF($A$5:$A25,">="&$B$1,$B$5:$B25)
    Ans = 39.40
