Hi all,

I'm really struggling to crack a formula and hoping someone can advise.

I've downloaded my sales data over the last month - every transaction listed with date, time (to the second) and the value, and I am now trying to aggregate hourly sales to fit my staffing patterns.

I thought I had it with =SUMIFS(C:C,B:B,>11,B:B,<12) but it just gives me that annoying "there's something wrong, try =1+1=2, try an apostrophe if you don't want that!" type reply which is very useless...

In my sheet, column C is my transaction values, and B is the time. The plan being I'd go on to change "11" for D1, "12" for D2, and run through bar opening hours 11am to 10pm by hour, but I can't figure out what the problem with my formula is, or if its the best formula for the job. Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks

In your image column B has time values. That's not what your formula is testing, it's testing the numbers 11 and 12

For the time values try:

=SUMIFS(C:C,B:B,">11:00",B:B,"<12:00")

Thank you again for your help pgc01, that did solve it.

However, I am trying to complicate things now, and want a third argument based on column D which gives the name of the day by date =text(A#,"ddd")

=SUMIFS(C:C,B:B,">11:00",B:B,"<12:00",D:D,"=Mon")

but it is returning 0 again. Can't work out where I am going wrong. Have tried a few edits to make it work but can't seem to. Any one able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
