Find dates in a range; then sum values in that range by a criteria

Something like this might work:

=sumproduct(--(a1:a10<=date(2005,12,31)),--(a1:a10>=date(2005,1,1)),
--(b1:b10="Rent"),c1:c10)

This will check to see if the date is in 2005, and has Rent in the associated
row, and add the values in C1:C10.

You can make the ranges as large as you want, but you can't use the whole
column--and all the ranges have to be the same size.

=sumproduct(--(a1:a10<=f1),--(a1:a10>=f1)),--(b1:b10=g1),c1:c10)

(If you put the dates in F1 and the category in G1.)

Hi Dave,

Many thanks for the suggestion, which very elegantly solved my problem.
