Excel, SUMIFS criteria range is also sum range

Question

I'm trying to find the total sum of values in column I in another workbook greater than the value of £179 [referenced in cell B13] between a date range in column H 01/06/2014 - 30/06/2014 [referenced in cells B1 and C1 respectively]. I don't want to edit the workbook containing columns H and I.

This is the formula i have but it errors because i assume you can't have the sum range also a criteria range: =SUMIFS([anotherFilel.xlsx]sheet!$I$16:$I$99999, [anotherFilel.xlsx]sheet!$I$16:$I:$99999,>$B$13,[anotherFilel.xlsx]sheet!$H$16:$H$99999,<=$C2,[anotherFilel.xlsx]sheet!$H$16:$H$99999,>=$B2)

And the anotherFile.xlsx sheet: (contains blank rows)

@Fabricator's answer should work, but if you want to write it with just SUMIFS, you need to quote your conditions and concatenate your values with &. Excel doesn't have any problems with a column being both a condition / the summing column.

=SUMIFS([anotherFilel.xlsx]sheet!$I$16:$I$99999, 
        [anotherFilel.xlsx]sheet!$I$16:$I$99999, ">" & $B$13,
        [anotherFilel.xlsx]sheet!$H$16:$H$99999, "<=" & $C2,
        [anotherFilel.xlsx]sheet!$H$16:$H$99999, ">=" & $B2)
