Sumifs formula based on rows of dates

Our take

Managing a monthly budget can be challenging, especially when trying to accurately track recurring expenses like car payments. If you're looking to sum all car payments for February based on a series of date rows, you're not alone. Fortunately, it’s possible to leverage the SUMIFS formula to achieve this. By combining criteria for both the car payment and the specific February dates, you can calculate the total amount efficiently.

I am looking for help with a formula for my monthly budget. Below is a screenshot to help explain what I'm looking for.

I have columns for the type of expense (column A), category (column B) and details per category (column C).

I for each of those I have column J, which is the single amount to pay per bill and columns K and L for the frequency per year and the 1st date. From this, I created a sequence formula to get the list of dates for the year, which is listed on the row along the next few columns.

Here's where things get dicey for me.

I want to sumifs all the car payments for the month of Feb. But I don't know how to combine that with searching the row for the #of feb dates and then multiplying that by the single payment, per row, that will then get sumif-ed into a single amount for Feb Car.

Let me know if this is even possible or if this is too big a problem and I'll have to reorganize my budget.
