In this case I would either use a pivot table or the SUMIF function. If using the SUMIF function, I would make a separate table to the side of the data or on another sheet, with the months in one column, shall we say in AA2:AA13 and a formula something like the following next to each month in AB2:AB13 (assuming you intend to have, say 100 rows of main data and that row 2 contains the headings): In AB2: =SUMIF($A$3:$A$103,AA2,$G$3:$G$103) This says: Sum all the values in the range G3:G103 where the corresponding value (text) in A3:A103 is equal to the value (text) in AA2 Replicate this formula down thru AB13 (notice that the two ranges are absolute but the criterion will change to be the appropriate cell in AA). If you were to name the ranges in the data set as "Month" and "Amount", you could type =SUMIF(Month,AA2,Amount) Andrew > -----Original Message----- > From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott-Johnson, > Tiffani D. > Sent: 16 August 2004 18:58 > To: Formula help (E-mail) > Subject: [mso] Excel help > > There is a spreadsheet that keeps information for July to the > next July. > A2 month B2 Org C2 Appropriation D2 Account E2 Handling > F2 Freight G2 > Amount > > Since I would like the one spreadsheet to go for one year I > am not sure how I could code this to add up the information > in F2 and give one total and G2 to give one total based on > each month in A2.
