=SUMIFS(Data!E:E, Data!I:I,A4, Data!J:J,B4, Data!D:D,">="&VALUE($B $1), Data!D:D,"<="&VALUE($B$2))
The formula is simple and works in 2007 version of excel only. First parameter [Data!E:E] specifies the range to sum and rest are the criterion you need to test. As for coumn D Value formula has been used because MS Excel understands dates as numbers i.e. if the number is "1.234" then "1" signifies the date and the portion after decimal which is "234" signifies the time. As a matter of fact specifying range as D:D or E:E will also not work with previous versions of Excel and you will have to use Offset and Index functions in combination with named ranges to create a dynamically increasing range. This means a lot of learning somehow you can do it in 2-3 days time and solve your "problem" from recurring in future...
