QUICK ANSWER

The formula and where it fits.

Add amounts whose dates fall inside a start and end date. Use =SUMIFS(B2:B,A2:A,">="&E2,A2:A,"<="&F2), then replace the sample ranges with the columns in your sheet.

SUMIFS applies the lower and upper date bounds to the date column.

  1. Put the source data under one header row.
  2. Paste the formula into an empty result cell.
  3. Change the ranges and criteria to match your sheet.
  4. Check the result against one row you can verify manually.
