Bernie,
I am still having trouble ... the first variable StartDate works fine but
when I try to use the second variable EndDate I get a zero result ... (see
code below) ... Can you identify the problem for please before I am
completely bald.

Regards & TIA

Sub WhyNotThis()
Dim StartDate As String
Dim EndDate As String

StartDate = DateAdd("d", -Day(Date) + 1, Date)
EndDate = DateAdd("m", 1, StartDate)
EndDate = DateAdd("d", -1, EndDate)

MsgBox "Start Date is " & StartDate & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "End Date is " &
EndDate

MsgBox "Using your first code: " &
Evaluate("SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100>=--""2005-06-01""),--(A2:A100<=--""2005-06-30""),
--(F2:F100=""Cleared""),--(D2100>0),D2100)")
MsgBox "Using the variable StartDate: " &

"),--(A2:A100<=--""2005-06-30""), --(F2:F100=""Cleared""),--(D2100>0),D2100)")

'What's going amiss here ?

MsgBox "Using the variable EndDate: " &
Evaluate("SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100>=--""2005-06-01""),--(A2:A100<=--" & EndDate
& "), --(F2:F100=""Cleared""),--(D2100>0),D2100)")
MsgBox "Using the both variables: " & Evaluate("SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100>=--" &
StartDate & "),--(A2:A100<=--" & EndDate &
"), --(F2:F100=""Cleared""),--(D2100>0),D2100)")

End Sub

Maybe it's the difference you (from the UK) and VBA treats dates (USA centric).

I think I'd stop using strings.

Option Explicit

Sub WhyNotThis()
Dim StartDate As Date
Dim EndDate As Date

StartDate = DateAdd("d", -Day(Date) + 1, Date)
EndDate = DateAdd("m", 1, StartDate)
EndDate = DateAdd("d", -1, EndDate)

MsgBox "Start Date is " & StartDate & Chr(13) _
& Chr(13) & "End Date is " & EndDate

MsgBox "Using the variable StartDate: " & _
Evaluate("SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100>=" & StartDate & ")," _
& "--(A2:A100<=--""2005-06-30"")," _
& "--(F2:F100=""Cleared""),--(D2100>0),D2100)")

MsgBox "Using the both variables: " & _
Evaluate("SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100>=" & StartDate & ")," _
& "--(A2:A100<=--" & EndDate & ")," _
& "--(F2:F100=""Cleared""),--(D2100>0),D2100)")

End Sub

If that doesn't help (untested with my USA settings)...

Option Explicit

Sub WhyNotThis()
Dim StartDate As Date
Dim EndDate As Date

StartDate = DateAdd("d", -Day(Date) + 1, Date)
EndDate = DateAdd("m", 1, StartDate)
EndDate = DateAdd("d", -1, EndDate)

MsgBox "Start Date is " & StartDate & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "End Date is " &
EndDate


MsgBox "Using the variable StartDate: " & _
Evaluate("SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100>=" & clng(StartDate) & ")," _
& "--(A2:A100<=--""2005-06-30"")," _
& "--(F2:F100=""Cleared""),--(D2100>0),D2100)")



MsgBox "Using the both variables: " & _
Evaluate("SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100>=" & clng(StartDate) & ")," _
& "--(A2:A100<=--" & clng(EndDate) & ")," _
& "--(F2:F100=""Cleared""),--(D2100>0),D2100)")

End Sub

If you are looking at a specific month, would any ideas here help?

Sub Demo()
Dim s As String
Dim Dte As Date

Dte = Date

s =
"Sumproduct(--(Year(A2:A100)=#), --(Month(A2:A100)=#), --(F2:F100=""Cleared""),--(D2100

0),D2100)"

s = Replace(s, "#", Year(Dte), , 1)
s = Replace(s, "#", Month(Dte), , 1)

MsgBox Evaluate(s)

End Sub

HTH :>)

Thank you Dana,
At the moment I am developing the workbook and I suspect eventually I will
need to be able to select any range of dates ... I am just using the month
to test the syntax of the vba

Thank you Dave,
You are absolutely right ... I think my version was recognising 01/06/2005
as 6th Jan 2005 and of course 30/06/2005 doesn't exist in US format.
Using Clng(StartDate ) & Clng(EndDate) has solved the problem
