How to Use SUMIFs between Two Dates using VBA in Microsoft Excel

In this article, we will learn How to Use SUMIFs between Two Dates using VBA in Microsoft Excel.

First we understand how sumifs work

In simple words, while working with a long data sheet. Sometimes we need to find the sum if only the value which lay between the required dates or say

we need to add values where the data date of the corresponding values is between the two required dates.

SUMIFS function

SUMIFS function returns the sum of values corresponding to the criteria selected. In this case, criteria and criteria range is if date is between the given date.

Syntax:

Sum_range : range where sum is required

range : Set of dates

& : operator used to concatenate other operator.

NOTE : 

There are 3 ways to provide the date value as an argument in the formula. 

1. Input date directly, this is easy but leads to error if format is not recognized by Excel.
2. Use DATE function, for example DATE(yyyy,mm,dd) here yyyy, mm, dd are the numerical year, month and date value.
3. Third is easy, input date value in other cell and pick it using the cell reference as explained in the example below.

Let’s understand this function using an example.

Here we need to find the TotalPrice sum if date is between 2/20/2019 (after) & 7/9/2019 (before).

So we will use the formula to get the amount

F2:F10 : Sum_range

A2:A10 : range where condition is applied

">=" & I3 : greater than date value in I3(2/20/2019).

"<=" & J3 : less than date value in J3.(7/9/2019).

Use the formula as stated above and click Enter.

As you can see the formula returns 487.4, the Totalprice between dates.

For customization just change the dates in I3 & J3 cell and get the results with the formula.

VBA Example :

All of these might be confusing to understand. Let's understand how to use the function using an example. Here We have Sales report for Salesman, Region, and Product for years 2012 to 2014

We want to find out the Sales figure that meets the following conditions between 2 dates

To calculate Sales using VBA code, we have used OFFSET function to create Named ranges for each category.

Press CTRL + F3 to open Name Manager Window (the lists are already created)

Using Paste Names feature in Formulas tab, we will get the entire Defined Name range list in cells.

Click on Paste List

We need to follow the below steps to launch VB editor

Click on Developer tab

From Code group, select Visual Basic

Click on Insert, and then Module

This will create a new module.
Enter the following code in the Module

Sub Sumifs2Dates()
mysalesman = [H3]
myregion = [H4]
myproduct = [H5]
stdate = [H6]
EndDate = [H7]
 
tsales = Application.WorksheetFunction.SumIfs([nsales], [nsalesman], mysalesman, [nregion], myregion, [nproduct], myproduct, [ndate], ">=" &stdate, [ndate], "<=" &EndDate)
[H8] = tsales
End Sub

Press ALT + F8 shortcut key for opening Macro window & then select the macro.

Alternatively, you can press F5 to run the code in VBA screen.

After executing the macro, we will get the output in cell H8

This is how we can use SUMIFS function in VBA to calculate the total sales between 2 dates.
