I want to use the sumif function to add up all expenses that occur between
two dates (Say, during the month of September, so between 09/01/2004 and
09/30/2004). I can't figure out how do use sumif with two arguement (sumif
criteria is THIS AND THIS)?

You'll get some answers suggesting SUMPRODUCT, which is fine. The
*easiest-to-understand* way is ...

use 2 SUMIFs, ie: SUMIF(less than 1st Oct 04) *minus* SUMIF(less than 1st
Sept 04).

Assuming that Column A contains the date, and Column B contains the
expense amount, try the following...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100=DATE(2004,9,1)),--(A1:A100<=DATE(2004,9,30)),B1:B
100)

or

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100=C1),--(A1:A100<=D1),B1:B100)

....where C1 contains your start date, and D1 contains your end date.

Hope this helps!

With Excel 2007 you have a new function, SUMIFS(). It allows upto about 15
separate criteria, so for example with date1 in B2 and date2 in B3,
=SUMIFS(sum_range,criteria1_range,""&B2,criteria2 range,"<="&B3) would return
the desired sum.
