Example output

Formula: =SUMIFS(C:C, A:A, ">="&DATE(2024,1,1), A:A, "<="&DATE(2024,12,31)) Explanation: SUMIFS adds values in column C where the date in column A falls within 2024. The & joins the comparison operator to the DATE value. Alternative: a PivotTable grouped by year is easier to maintain for ongoing reporting.
