Example input
[broken_formula]: =SUMIFS(A:A;B:B;">=01/05/2025")
Example output
Formula Fix
Detected issues
Mixed locale separators – semicolons used instead of commas (Excel default is commas in English locale).
Date string in the condition is not wrapped in quotes properly or interpreted as a date value.
SUMIFS expects proper syntax: SUMIFS(sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, ...).
Fixed formula (Excel)

=SUMIFS(A:A, B:B, ">=01/05/2025")
Why this works
• Commas are used instead of semicolons for correct function argument separation in English Excel.
• Date condition is enclosed properly in double quotes to be treated as a string.
• Syntax matches the expected structure of the SUMIFS function.
Tips
• In French/European locales, semicolons (;) may be used instead of commas (,). Adjust according to your Excel language settings.
• For dynamic date filtering, consider using TODAY() or referencing a cell instead of hardcoding a date.
• Excel treats date strings in formulas as text unless explicitly converted—ensure proper formatting or use DATE(2025,5,1) for precision.
