Your first criterion, "food", assumes the "=" 
operator by default: that's fine. But in your 
second criterion, for dates, you have needed to 
specify the ">=" operator. Your problem is then 
that you have simply positioned this text string 
next to the cell reference "$Incomes.A3", no 
doubt hoping that they will somehow be combined. 
But you need to concatenate the two parts 
explicitly - using the "&" operator. So your expression should end
...;">="&$Incomes.A3)

Err:509 means "Missing operator", so that makes sense.

PS: The answer to your second query is very similar.

I trust this helps.
