Sum numbers till today's date

**Triben** · 09-18-2012, 12:28 PM

Hi everyone,

Let's say I have a file with profits generated by customer orders (I am paid on the delivery date, not before).
Column A is delivery dates
Column B is order amount

We are the 12th of the month and I would like to see quickly how much I already earned.
There are a lot of orders, so doing it automatically would be great, as opposed to do it manually every time.

So excel should basically sum everything from the 1st to the 12th (or till the last order before the 12th)

And on the 14th when I will open the same file, excel should show me the sum from the 1st till the 14th

I was thinking of sumif() but did not manage to make it work

Any idea?

Hi Triben

You could use SUMIF.

=SUMIF(Criteria Range,"<18/09/2012",Sum Range)

If you have the date in a cell you can reference it EG: =SUMIF(Criteria Range,"<"&A1,Sum Range)

Thank you both.

The "<"&today made my day.

I didn't place the last " well, now I know.

Thanks!
