    SUMIFS Formula Issue

    I have a 600 row spreadsheet, and I'm using the following formula to sum items paid within a specific date range, column I is the amount, column L is the date paid:

    =SUMIFS(I10:I600,L10:L600,">6/30/2012",I10:I600,"<7/1/2013")


    I discovered that altough the formula works, it does not pull amounts above $41,000 ($41,820 to be exact). I can go into that record and change the amount to below $41,000 and the total will adjust and include that line. But when I change it back to an amount above $41,820, the total drops that line.....very weird.

    I don't have this issue if I just sum column I, or if I use sumif for a specific date that includes one of the lines above $41,820. It only happens with SUMIFS.

    Is there an amount limitation when using SUMIFS formula?

    7/1/2013 is stored internally as 41456. Hence the behavior you are seeing!

    Thank you Vandan, I was pointing to the wrong column.

    I don't understand what you mean by 7/1/2013 being stored internally....are you saying the dates are actually converted to numbers in excel?

    Yup. Dates are stored as numbers...number of days since Jan 0 1900.

    Use datevalue function to convert date to a number.
