Check if date is between 2 dates

I see a solution for this question using visual basic, however I am looking to use it in an Excel function. In the example attached I want to sum a range of values if the date is between two other dates.

I know I can sum if the date is greater or less than a specified date:

=SUMIF($A2:$A4,"<39814",C$2:C$4) where the criteria is the Excel date as a serial number (in this case, before 1/1/09).

How can I do this if I want to sumif the date is between two dates? I tried this:

=SUMIF($A2:$A4,AND("<398149",">=39448"),B$2:B$4) where the criteria is supposed to be any date in 2008.

I get a result of 0.

Also, I want to reference cells containing the date, not the Excel date serial value. See the attached example.

You can use SUMPRODUCT like this

=SUMPRODUCT((A3:A6>=A4)*(A3:A6<=A5),B3:B6)

or from excel version 2003 you could also use

=SUMIFS(B2:B6;A2:A6;"<40179";A2:A6;">39813")

to get the total for 2009

Or if you really like sumif

=SUMIF(A2:A6,"<="&$A$5,B2:B6)-SUMIF(A2:A6,"<"&$A$4,B2:B6)

Plug this formula into your cell
=SUM(IF(AND(A2>=A15,A2<A16),B2,0),IF(AND(A3>=A15,A3<A16),B3,0),IF(AND(A4>=A15,A4<A16),B4,0),IF(AND(A5>=A15,A5<A16),B5,0),IF(AND(A6>=A15,A6<A16),B6,0))

The long-winded way.
