Here is a list of Fruits and its quantity with dates.

We will do this in two cases:

1st case
We need to find the SUM of quantity of fruits 7 days from Today.
Today is 5/27/2019.

Formula in F1 cell

=SUMIFS(C2:C10,B2:B10,">="&TODAY()-7,B2:B10,"<="&TODAY())

Explanation:
SUM of quantity is in range C2:C10
Criteria is within last 7 days. So 1st criteria would be Dates lesser than today and 2nd criteria would be Dates greater than 7 days from Today.
“>=”&Today()-7 Dates greater than 7 days from now.
“<=”&Today() Dates less than Today

The sum of 50+70+40 = 160

2nd Case
We need to find the sum of Qty of fruits between 2 given dates.

Formula in F5 cell:
=SUMIFS(C2:C10, B2:B10, “>=5/01/2019", B2:B10, “<=5/15/2019")SUM of quantity is in range C2:C10
Criteria is within last 7 days. So 1st criteria would be Dates lesser than today and 2nd criteria would be Dates greater than 7 days from Today.
“>=”& 5/01/2019 Dates after 5/01/2019.
“<=”& 5/15/2019 Dates before 5/15/2019
