    SUMIFS problem

    ok, here is the problem.

    In col A I have numbers (the number of articles)
    In col B I have arrival date of the article
    In col C I have a string which has 2 different alternatives.

    I need to sum up the numbers in col A by a certain month and year, as well as differ the two strings. I have been turning my brains inside out and so far my best idea is something like:

    SUMIFS(A1:A10;B1:B10;"MONTH=1";B1:B10;"YEAR=2010";C1:C10;"string")

    I know I am not using the MONTH and YEAR functions in a correct way, but does anyone have a better idea on how to solve this?

    Hi and welcome to the board

    At first glance, a Pivot Table might be what you need

    Will that work even when the data really covers columns up to AC?

    Re: SUMIFS problem

    Thank you for the help, but there seems to be a problem using pivot tables.

    The dates are specified by the day, and there can be several posts for the same day. Any tips on how to exclude the specific date and focus on year and month?

    [SOLVED] SUMIFS problem

    I'm not too sure my employer would like me to post classified data online =)

    But i managed to solve the problem using:

    SUMIFS(A1:A10;B1:B10;">=2010-01-01";B1:B10;"<2010-02-01";C1:C10;"string")

    The only problem was that I had to edit each month manually, but not too much work

    Thanks anyway.
