=SUM(B2:INDEX(B2:B13,MONTH(TODAY())))

I have an actual sales report by month and a separate line for budget with
all 12 months. I want to generate a report monthly which will give year to
date actul and YTD budget. Actual is easy as forward months will be zero.
How
do I total the proper number of months from the budget date to compare
actual
versus budget?
