How to sum values between two dates in Excel

Formula (Excel and Google Sheets)

=SUMIFS(D2:D11,A2:A11,">="&G1,A2:A11,"<="&G2)

Use SUMIFS with two date conditions on the same column: =SUMIFS(sum_range, dates, ">="&start, dates, "<="&end).

The formula is already in G3. Change any input and the result updates, or edit the formula to experiment.

How it works

Two conditions on the date column make a window: on or after G1 and on or before G2. The operators are text, so they go in quotes and & joins each one to its date cell.

=SUMIFS(D2:D11,A2:A11,">="&G1,A2:A11,"<="&G2)

Result4495

  1. D2:D1110 rows × 1 col: $1,840, $420, $395, $1,720, …

    A range: 10 cells in one column.

  2. A2:A1110 rows × 1 col: 1/5/2026, 1/11/2026, 1/19/2026, 2/2/2026, …

    A range: 10 cells in one column.

  3. G12/1/2026

    The value in G1.

  4. ">="&G1">=46054"

    The & operator joins as text.

  5. G22/28/2026

    The value in G2.

  6. "<="&G2"<=46081"

    The & operator joins as text.

  7. SUMIFS(D2:D11,A2:A11,">="&G1,A2:A11,"<="&G2)4495

    SUMIFS: Adds values that meet every condition.

In Google Sheets

The same formula works in Google Sheets: =SUMIFS(D2:D11,A2:A11,">="&G1,A2:A11,"<="&G2). We ran it in Google Sheets mode on the same data and it returns $4,495.

Other ways to do it

Each one was run on the same example sheet.

FormulaResultWhen to use it
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A11>=G1)*(A2:A11<=G2)*D2:D11)$4,495Works in every version and takes any extra condition you can write as a test.

Common mistakes

  • Dates typed into the criteria as text, like ">=2/1/2026", depend on regional date settings. Keep dates in cells.
  • If the dates include times, use "<"&G2+1 for the end so the whole last day is included.

Try it yourself

Same data, empty answer cell. Your formula is graded instantly, then re-checked on changed data, so a typed-in number won't pass.

Sum values between two dates

In G3, total the sales dated from G1 to G2, both days included.

Questions

How do I sum by month?

Put the first day of the month in G1 and use "<="&EOMONTH(G1,0) as the end condition.

How do I add a region condition too?

Add a pair: =SUMIFS(D2:D11,A2:A11,">="&G1,A2:A11,"<="&G2,B2:B11,"West").
