DSUM Date problems

[duncan79]

I cant work out what expression i would use to make a DSUM function count only Figures from certain months.... what expression would i use in the criteria areas with a date header???? (a pivot table doesnt really suite my needs.)

Please post a sample of your data: most likely a SUMPRODUCT with unary
operators will do the trick for you. This link

will give a number of examples.

my data looks like this



Date Invoice No.Company Property Amount

02.05.06 1116 Banana 3 Banana street 1 13
02.05.06 1117 Hamster 57 Hamster avenue 1 14
02.05.06 1118 Dave 16 Dave Close 15
02.05.06 1119 apple 177 Apple terrace 16
02.05.06 1121 apple 12 Apple Road 17

where i am summing the amounts and the totals need to be split into company and month i have been able to use DSUM fine to calculate a further running total with a paid : yes/no column and i want to do the same for dates

have tried wildcards *.05.06 in the criteria, and a few other things any way to make it work ???

With your headers and sample data entered in cells A1:E6, the following
formula resulted in $33:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A6="02.05.06"),--(C2:C6="apple"),E2:E6)

This formula adds the elements in the Amount column when the date is
02.05.06 and the company name is apple.

If column F was a Paid? Yes/No column then this formula does the same
thing for Paid = yes:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A6="02.05.06"),--(C2:C6="apple"),--(F2:F6="yes"),E2:E6)

Some notes and caveats:
~Where you see a text string in the formula, such as "02.05.06",
"apple", "yes", you can use a cell reference.
~Spelling is critical: "apple" doesn't equal "aple" or "apple "

Here's what to do, assume the table is called MyTable and the header for the
column you want to sum is called Amounts, and the header for the dates is
called Dates, if you use E1:F2 as criteria it would look like


Dates Dates
=">=01/01/2006" ="<=02/28/2006"

then the formula

=DSUM(MyTable,"Amounts",E1:F2)

will sum for Jan & Feb of 2006
