It looks like you want to do a conditional sum based on 2 conditions, if some dates are within a certain range and if certain names appear in another range.
Typically, you only test a range for a single condition but you're trying to test a range for an entire column.
Column F = Column B
Here's how you would normally do it:
Column F = B1
Here's an example:

With this data we want to get the sum of column C if the dates in column A are >=1/5/2011 and <=1/10/2011 and the corresponding cells in column B = X.
The formula would be:
Use cells to hold the criteria:
- E2 = lower date boundary = 1/5/2011
- F2 = upper date boundary = 1/10/2011
- G2 = X
=SUMIFS(C2:C20,A2:A20,">="&E2,A2:A20,"<="&F2,B2:B20,G2)
Is that what you had in mind?
