Date and time formatting not responding

Question

I'm trying to total a column based on a date or date window.  My formula looks like this.
SUMIF(Date,B1,'$')
I have 2 tables.  The table with the formula references the other table, and compares Date in table 1 to B1 in table 2.  B1 is a date I enter to see a specific total for that day only.  It only works if all the times of the date window are 12:00:00 AM.  , and the B1 times are the same ..... Even though times are unimportant to the totals I need, and both are formatted to "none" and do. It show.
So, how do I total a specific date with various times, but all the same date?  I have a sample file if it will make more sense to see it.
Not that it matters, but I am doing this on an iPad, but the formula still did not respond correctly on Mavericks either.  Unless I set all times equal to B1.
Sorry if I didn't explain very well.  I'm new at this formula thing. 
Thanks

Hi Jeff,
The entered date in B1 will have it's time part set to 00:00:00 (midnight, at the beginning of that date). To use SUMIF to filter the date and time values in Table 1, you would need to write a single condition that would accept all date and time values falling on the date in BI, and reject all date and time values falling on days before or after that date.
SUMIFS allows you to specify multiple conditions, all of which must be met to acept a test value and add its associated sum value to the total. Here's an example:
The formula in B1 of Table 2 is shown below:
B2: =SUMIFS(Table 1 :: B,Table 1 :: $A,">="&B1,Table 1 :: $A,"<"&(B1+1))
Syntax: =SUMIFS(sum-values,test-values,condition,test-values,ˆcondition)
