    SUMIF/SUMIFS not working using Date fields as criteria

    I have three columns "Billed Date", "Paid Date" and "Amount" and trying to use either SUMIF or SUMIFS function.

    I tried using "is null" or "<> null" to sum values and must have the syntax wrong.

    If I want to sum on those amounts with "Billed Date" not blank and "Paid Date" blank....

    Thanks so much in advance!!

    Usually when you are trying to use is null you don't actually write is null but might use <>"". See if adding that changes your results.

    Re: SUMIF/SUMIFS not working using Date fields as criteria

    First of all, SUMIF and SUMIFS have two different syntax.

    SUMIF (range, criteria, [sum_range]) whereas SUMIFS (sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, ..., ...)

    In your example, I would use SUMIFS...and assuming that "Billed Date" is on column A and "Paid Date" is on column B, and "Amount" is on column C, and that you only have 10 rows of data (from row 2 to row 11), then the formula would be

    =SUMIFS($C$2:$C$10, $A$2:$A$10, "<>", $B$2:$B$10, "=")

    Thanks so much for the replies.

    I tried the "=SUMIFS($C$2:$C$10, $A$2:$A$10, "<>", $B$2:$B$10, "=")", formula and appears to work.

    I assumed the "<>" refers to the cell having a value and the "=" would not.

    Thank you
