Trying to get total mileage for a specific month

[big_chief_hutch]

I have a spreadsheet which shows the date and mileage of business journeys. I
am trying to create a function that will for each month pick out the mileages
for that month and total them up.

Tried the following: =SUMIF(A19:A64,">=01/04/2006",G19:G64) where the A
column is the dates and the G column are the mileages, but I cant seem to set
up an upper limit for the dates. ie Apr journeys only, etc

Help

Try this:

Total mileage for Jan 2007:
=SUMPRODUCT(TEXT(A19:A64,"YYYYMM"="200701")*G19:G64)

Is that something you can work with?

Sorry, still coming up with error message. The SUMIF function I used below
did total everything after 1st Apr 06 ok, but I couldn't put in an upper date
limit. I also tried using the MONTH function within it and also tried a
further less than 1st May 06, but always got an error message

Oops! Typo! (sorry)

Try working with this:
=SUMPRODUCT((TEXT(A19:A64,"YYYYMM")="200701")*G19:G64)

Does that help?

Excellent - working a treat. Also seen this in another post, but yours I
prefer.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A19:A64)=10),--(YEAR(A19:A64)=2006),G19:G64)

Many thanks for all the help
