    SUMIF: Need formula to use month to determine sum_range

    So I need the sum_range part of the function to reference a column depending on the month. So, for example, I want a formula that will make the sum_range part of a SUMIF equal column L (12th column) if cell A1 is 12/31/2013 (the 12th month).

    Thanks!

    there are a couple of ways to do it. Yet it would be helpful if you assemble a sample and the desired result

    Re: SUMIF: Need formula to use month to determine sum_range

    Hmm I am having trouble uploading a table or image but I'll do my best. Say the date in A1 is 6/30/2013 and I am doing a formula on the below data set:

    A 1 2 3 4 5
    A 10 11 12 13 14
    B 20 21 22 23 24
    D 30 31 32 33 34
    D 40 41 42 43 44

    I would want SUMIF(A:A,"D", ? ) to equal 78. If the date in A1 were 5/31/2013, I would want the result to be 76, etc.

    Thanks for the help all, turns out an Offset was the way to go rather than a sumif.
