Query formula, how to remove label and get sum <= certain date
Hello,
Following is my query formula, it works well but it gives results like below, I just want remove label sum and only get 79.5
Sum
79.5
=iferror(query('Data Entry'!$B$5:E,"select sum(E) where B = date '" & text($D$7,"yyyy-MM-dd") & "'"))
Also I want to update my formula to sum my column E till date indicated in D7 (basically total sum of E equal or less than the date in D7), Column B has various dates.
Thanks
Sintl
