Step by step
- 1Ensure your date column contains real date values, not text.
- 2Construct the criteria by concatenating a comparison operator with a DATE value: ">="&DATE(2024,2,1) means 'on or after February 1, 2024'.
- 3Write the full formula: =SUMIF($A$2:$A$100,">="&DATE(2024,2,1),$B$2:$B$100). For a date stored in a cell (e.g. E1), use ">="&E1.
Tips
- Never write the date as a hardcoded string like ">=2024-02-01" — date string parsing is locale-dependent. Always use DATE() or a cell reference to guarantee the correct serial number.

Frequently asked
How do I sum for a single specific date?
Use the date as an exact criterion without an operator: =SUMIF($A$2:$A$100,DATE(2024,2,1),$B$2:$B$100). This sums only rows where the date equals February 1, 2024.
