Summarize column by date in Excel

Question

I am struggling with Excel here. I try to create a table with multiple sheets for all the storage units (in this example 19N) that we have. In every unit someone should be able to fill in a start date , a due date and a capacity need . Later, I want to have on sheet as an overview where Excel summarizes the capacity for every storage unit by date (picture2). I was able to summarize the number of events (like a count value) but would like to have the actual sum of the capacity column for every date. I tried:

=SUMIF(("'"&B$1&"'!$D$6:$D$60";((INDIRECT("'"&B$1&"'!$E$6:$E$60")<=$A5)*(INDIRECT("'"&B$1&"'!$F$6:$F$60")>=$A5))))

but just got an error.

Answer 1

You want to use SUMIFS(sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2], …)

Also you forgot to use Indirect when referencing your sum range in the begining of your formula.

Use this formula below, if cell B1 contains the sheet name and cell A5 contains the Date to compare.

=SUMIFS( INDIRECT( B$1&"!$D$6:$D$60" ) , INDIRECT( B$1&"!$E$6:$E$60" ) ,"<="&$A5 , INDIRECT( B$1&"!$F$6:$F$60" ) , ">="&$A5 )

I hope this helps.
