Sumifs

[roc_ent]

Hi all, I am trying to figure this out but I just can't seem to find my error. I have a sheet named "Records" then, I have 1 other sheet with a list of months. My Record sheet is made up of only 4 columns A=Transaction, B=Date (August 6,22), C=a dollar amount, and D=a drop down list of accounts. On my second sheet, I would like to have the totals of year to date per month and per accounts. So I was using =sumifs and changing the account names but I get an error message. This is what my formula: =SUMIFS(Records!C2:C100,Records!B2:B100,"January",Records!B2:B100,"gas") In my record sheet I've entered $100 on January 4, but my formula returns 0 What is wrong or is there a different formula that you can recommend?

B=Date (August 6,22),
is that a date or is it TEXT

also you are using "January" - which is text , and not a date
this is the issue

if you removed that bit
=SUMIFS(Records!C2:C100,Records!B2:B100,"gas")
then you should get some results - Just to check the other criteria are working OK
then you need to work out the dates section

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which is very time consuming.

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.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

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.
