    Cannot get SUMIFS to work when using <=TODAY() or when linking to another cell

    I want to 1) get a current balance in an account and 2) get a balance of that account on any defined date. I'm using SUMIFS. The only way I can get it to work is if I manually enter the date. Users need to be able to see current balance without entering anything. SUMIFS should work with the TODAY() function, but it won't if I link it to another cell or whenever I use the < or <=.

    Spreadsheet attached. On the Funds Available worksheet, I have identified in green what I want to work.

    =SUMIF('Fund Deposits'!A:A,"<="&TODAY(),'Fund Deposits'!B:B)-SUMIF(Expenditures!A:A,"<="&TODAY(),Expenditures!B:B)

    WOW! This works. I entered it and got the number. But when I apply the same concept to linking to a given/specified date, it falls apart. Thoughts?

    Also, how do I/where do I search for these idiosyncratic formula applications? I am actually using Excel 2010 now, but could not find this solution in the Excel 2010 manuals.
