Count cells based on dates

[KNUMB]

I hope to explain this properly for all, as I would like to total a column of cells based on a dates.

Ex. Cell A8 is 11/16/23 (which is passed today's date) and cell E8 is 100.
Cell A9 is 12/2/23 (in the future) and cell E9 is 100.

One cell at the bottom of the excel sheet will count the total numbers in column E based on older date and the other cell will count the total numbers in column E based on future dates.

sumif()
using today()
before and equal to today
=SUMIF(A2:A14,"<="&TODAY(),B2:B14)
after today
=SUMIF(A2:A14,">"&TODAY(),B2:B14)

the column in image is A and B - so is my example
change to column E

Range	Formula

B17	B17	=SUMIF(A2:A14,">"&TODAY(),B2:B14)

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet. Plus we cannot see any of the formulas used.

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.

That was it! Thank you so much as I was trying conditional formatting and countifs and didn't get anywhere.

One more question, If I wanted to add another thing to this formula such as counting only cells that say "box" or "crate" too, is it possible?

Yes, just use a SUMIFS formula instead of SUMIF. They are similar, just the SUMIFS allows you to use multiple conditions.
