Hi!

Extracting a single months data is no problem but
extracting more than that in a single operation as a
single data block will take some work.

Extracting a single months data is not difficult to do but
might be a little complicated trying to explain. I put
together a sample file based on your data that I could
send you. If interested post back with an email address so
that I can contact you.

I want to extract the numbers that match the customer,
product and month.
I have two spreadsheets that will be linked. I want only
data for certain
months, but the base spreadsheet will change every
month. For example: I
want to see the next 3 months data only, thus I want to
be able to create a
smaller spreadsheet that selects only the 3 months of
relevance. I want this
function to be as automated as possible so every month in
can quickly and
easily find the months information I request. It is a 12
month outlook and I
don't want to see all of it, just what is relevant.

Thanks for your help and I hope this makes some sense. I
am starting to
confuse myself.

This is relatively easy to do but it would help if you
could post a sample of your data and explain what data
you're trying to extract.

My initial spreadsheet contains a table of
information, I
am trying to create
a new spreadsheet with a cleaner version of the
information. I am trying to
use the INDEX and MATCH functions; however, to return
my
values I must
consider three constants: customer, product, and
date.
So far I have only
been able to find a way to use two constants. All
three
must be considered
because many customers purchase a variety of
products.
The date is
horizontal while customer and product are both
vertical.
