Default Finding Top Two Survey Results

I have been working on a summary page for reviewing some internal surveys we
do and am hopping soneone might have a simpler solution then what I am
having to do.

The data is in a table that has the month the survey was done and the
answers to the questions next to it. We have a 1 to 5 answer system, with 5
being best. It was not to hard to get the average score for each question in
a month, but finding a "Top Two" box total for each month was a bit more
chalanging.

Top Two Box, if you don't know, is where you take and count up only the
answers that got a 4 or a 5 for each month and then place that over a total
questions asked for the month to get a %.

I have 13 questions and for my solution I took the time to create a sperate
hidden sheet that has several DCOUNT and DCOUNT criteria tables. I had to
make a query for each question in each month, then total that... it works,
but I have to guess I missed a way to do this much easier. Now I know that
if I could have a count on each line, it would be much easier, but in this
case it is not an option. The users will be inputting data into the table
row by row, and in time deleting the older rows.

So, a brief example data file: (starting in A1)
month1 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5
month1 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5
month1 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5
month2 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5
month2 5 4 5 4 5 4 5 4 5 4

So the Top Two for month1 would be a count of 6 and for month 2 would be 14

The summary page has a collum for each month with the vaule of the month
(month1, month2) at the top.
