I need to work out the daily salary cost by apportioning each workers earnings equally over the period he worked. I tried using the sumifs function, but can't figure out how to reference a cell in the "criteria".
The desired result is shown in yellow on the uploaded spreadsheet.

Syntax and cell references! Try this:
=SUMIFS(F$2:F$5,B$2:B$5,"<="&A9,C$2:C$5,">="&A9)
Copy down.
You may need to change commas to semi-colons for your European locale.

Thank you AliGW. I have learned something about syntax. Thank you very much for answering! I had searched for hours the examples in the Excel online help and they didn't seem to cover the fact that I must put only the operater, "=>", in inverted commas, nor the fact that an ampersand is required before the logical cell reference.
anyway the syntax is now known and I can insert it into my much bigger spreadsheet.
Happy to help.
