To sum values month-to-date in Excel while considering the year, you can use formulas like SUMIFS or SUMPRODUCT. Here's a simple guide:
1. **SUMIFS Formula:**
- Use the SUMIFS function, specifying the date column, a criteria range for the month, and another for the year.
- Example: `=SUMIFS(data_range, date_column, ">="&DATE(year, month, 1), date_column, "<="&DATE(year, month+1, 1))`[1].
2. **SUMPRODUCT Formula:**
- Ignore the year when summing values by using the SUMPRODUCT function.
- Example: `=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(date_range)=month)*(data_range))`[2].
3. **Alternate Method:**
- Combine MONTH and YEAR functions with SUMIFS for more flexibility[4][9].
