What version of Excel are you using?
Maybe I am missing something, but why wouldn't you use a pivot table
especially if you also want time interval drill down / rollups? With a pivot
table you have the option of filtering for specific values.
Or are you wanting to accumulate valures for each time interval and then do
something with them?
Check out the syntax for three-dimensioanl references and also the Vlookup
function.
Perhaps this will help.
