OK I got action.
There must of been some kind of “lock” on the spreedsheet,
When I opened Excel this morning, I tryed it on a blank sheet and it worked, so then I went back to my other file I could not get it to work.

And then copy & paste information to a new file and saved it under the old file name , that is one cool way to fix the problem,

It would great to know how I could of “unlocked” the speedsheet.

=TODAY()
at work on Version 7 for windows 95, (why it is so old, dont ask)
but all I get in the cell is =TODAY() , it works great at home with openOffice

Hey John — just checking in on how to sum “To Date” values

By: Tom

Tom — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:05:31 +0000

=SUMIFS($S8:$QT8,$S$7:$QT$7,G$7,$S6:$QT6,”

for some reason the < operation in my workbook is not working with the volatile today()

it works with straight equals to today() …… or the < with entering a straight date serial number.

but not the combo of < and today(). Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom, Can you put your formula in a comment and I’ll take a look at what’s not working for you?

Thanks,

John and team, I am having a problem with the SUMIFS function when comparing with a criteria < today(). have you encountered this before ?

for accounting purpose (the TO DATE totals for example) I am trying to get the Sum of the data that falls before today.

Thank you all for your info. I have been using Lotus 123 and just changed to Excel. There is quite a difference, esp for a novice such as myself. This info has helped me as I have been searching for it a long time.

Hi Mele,

Have you tried just entering =TODAY() +7 into a cell? That should give you the result your looking for and update automatically with the changing of the days.

Thanks for posting this, I had been trying to find this info all morning.
I haven’t been able to find a formula that allows me to add one week to the =TODAY date, and have both of them automatically update in the worksheet. Here we go:

A1 B1
=TODAY() “today’s” date plus 7 days

As usual the MS Office help site is leadin gme down endless rabbit holes. I wonder if you can lead me in the right direction.
Thanks!
