conditional formula, if date entered, include in totals

[arbert]

This may be too easy but I'm just sort of teaching myself excell and I can't figure this out. I have bill amounts in column B and the date that bill is paid in column G so I have a cell that I want to total just the column B amounts where G has the date filled in.

So if there is a date in G then include B of that row in this total. Does someone know how to write that formula?

=SUMIF(G2:G100,">0",B2:B100) as long as cells in g are blank or dates

i think what you need to use is the sumif() function. without seeing you're data, something like...

=SUMIF(G:G,"<>"&"",B:B).

It would be better if you just used the range needed rather than entire columds though
