Have you considered just using a pivot table?

All,

I have a workbook with three (3) worksheets in it. The first one is
called 'codes' the second one is called 'data', and the third one is
called 'output'.

In 'codes' there is a list of codes that appear in the data set for
example:

CODES:
ABC
BGD
JDJ
KDK
DID

In the sheet 'data' the data is in the following format:

DATE CODE QUANTITY VALUE
01/01/09 ABC 10 1000
01/01/09 ABC 1 100
01/01/09 KDK 4 44
02/01/09 JDJ 2 13
02/01/09 JDJ 33 22

What I would like to be able to do is as follows:

1) The user is asked to input a date range for example
01/01/09-01/01/09
2) The program then searchs the data for everything in that date range
in the 'data' sheet that corresponds to the codes defined in the
'codes' sheet and returns the summed values. For example when the user
enters in 01/01/09-01/01/09 the value returned would be:

CODE QUANTITY VALUE
ABC 11 1100

3) This data would be displayed in the 'output' worksheet.
4) If the User entered the date range 01/01/09-02/01/09 then the
following values would be returned:

DATE CODE QUANTITY VALUE
01/01/09 ABC 11 1100
01/01/09 KDK 4 44
02/01/09 JDJ 35 35

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated,

Regards
