Step by step
- 1Put your dates in column A and numeric values in column B.
- 2Decide which week number to sum (e.g. week 22). In an empty cell enter =SUMPRODUCT((WEEKNUM(A2:A5,2)=22)*B2:B5).
- 3Press Enter. The formula multiplies a TRUE/FALSE array (1 for rows in week 22, 0 otherwise) by the values and sums the products.
Tips
- The second argument of WEEKNUM sets the start day: 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday. Choose consistently across your workbook.
- To make the week number dynamic, replace 22 with a cell reference such as D1.
- In Excel 2010+ and all Google Sheets versions, WEEKNUM is built-in. Older Excel may need the Analysis ToolPak add-in.

Frequently asked
What if I want to sum by ISO week?
Use ISOWEEKNUM instead of WEEKNUM: =SUMPRODUCT((ISOWEEKNUM(A2:A5)=22)*B2:B5). Both apps support ISOWEEKNUM.
Can I sum by week across multiple years?
Add a YEAR check: =SUMPRODUCT((YEAR(A2:A5)=2024)*(WEEKNUM(A2:A5,2)=22)*B2:B5).
