Hi
the value that is in C8 has to be as well in the range B1:N1 on your
turnover sheet. e.g.
C8: Mar
B1:N1:
Jan - Feb - Mar - Apr - ...

Hi
Can't get the formula to work, keep getting N/A even though there is
data to
sum. Is it possible that I need to have numerical column headings as
the
'MATCH' part of the formula seems to be looking for a number to match
to.

Hi
now that helps :-)
try the following formula:

=SUMIF('turnover'!$A$1:$A$1000,$B8,OFFSET('turnove r'!$A$1:$A$1000,0,MAT
CH($C8,'turnover'!$B$1:$N$1,0)))

Hi
The Supplier Name is in col B, the month number is in C8 of sheet
'Summary'
and the data it needs to add is in the sheet 'turnover' with the
Supplier
name in col A and the months starting with Jan in the following
colums ie Jan
in B, Feb in C etc with the turnover per month in the relative
rows for the
Supplier. What I want the formula to do is to lookup a Supplier
name in
Turnover (col A) that is in the Summary Sheet (col B), read the
no of periods
(col C in Summary) and then sum that no of columns in the
Turnover sheet
pertaining to the Supplier.

e.g.
- in which sells is the month name (in row 1, etc.)

As said: just post some example data as plain text

I have a spreadsheet set up which feed in monthly figures eg
in jan figures
are put in under the jan heading. in feb figures are put in
under the feb
heading etc. at the bottom of the sheet is a total for all
months, but need
to write a formula to add only two columns if the month is
feb or 10 columns
if month is october.
