How to Sum Values Based on Month and Year in Excel
We often do some summary or statistic at the end of one month or one year. In these summary tables, there are at least two columns, one column records the date, and the other column records the sales or product number or total costs etc. If we want to calculate the total values based on a certain month of a year, for example if we want to calculate the total sales for January 2020, how can we do? This article will help you to solve this problem.
See the example below. A column lists some dates. B column lists the sales. E column lists the month and year we want to calculate the total sales for. F column is used for showing the returned value by formula.

Method 1: Sum Values Based on Month and Year by SUMIF Function
Step 1: In cell F2, enter the formula =SUMIFS(B2:B16,A2:A16,”>=”&DATE(2019,1,1),A2:A16,”<=”&DATE(2019,1,31)).
In SUMIFS function, B2:B16 is the sum range, A2:A16 is the criteria range. “>=”&DATE(2019,1,1) and “<=”&DATE(2019,1,31) are the two criteria. Details please see below screenshot.
Verify that total sales 1500 is displayed for January 2019 after calculation.
Step 2: If we want to calculate total sales based on a certain period, we can change the parameters in DATE function. For example, to calculate the total sales for period 1/3/2019 – 1/3/2020, we can enter the formula =SUMIFS(B2:B16,A2:A16,”>=”&DATE(2019,1,3),A2:A16,”<=”&DATE(2020,1,3)).
Above all, you can change the date in DATE function to do sum per your demands.
Method 2: Sum Values Based on Month and Year by SUMPRODUCT
Step 1: In cell F2, enter the formula
=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(A2:A16)=1)*(12(A2:A16)=2019)*(B2:B16)).
In this formula we also use MONTH function and YEAR function to filter date from range A2:A16 based on criteria ‘Date is included in period January 2019’. B2:B16 is the sum range.
Step 2: Click Enter to get the result. Verify that we get the same result in method #1 step#1.
