Default How can SUM a column based on values of other columns?

Thanks all for responding to my posting. I used Shane explained solution
and it worked for me. I am doing some customization of my own so that is why
I can not use an existing template. Thanks again.

Hi,

Here is one way, suppose your data is in A1:E100, then enter the following
titles in columns F1:I1, (not really necessary) Month, Institute, Account
Type. In F2:H2 enter Bank of America, 1/1/2008, and Checking. Then in cell
I2 enter the following formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$7=F2),--($B$2:$B$7=G2),--($C$2:$C$7=H2),$D$2:$D$7)

In rows 3 and on enter the conditions (month, institute and type) and then
copy the formula in I2 down as far as necessary.

Important: this formula is not based on month but date, if you want to base
it on month you will need to modify it:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH($A$2:$A$7)=F3),--($B$2:$B$7=G3),--($C$2:$C$7=H3),$D$2:$D$7)

In this case you would change the entry in F3 to 1, meaning January.

I need help Suming up Amount column based on values of three different
columns.

Let's say I have the following Detail Data:

Month Institute Account Type Amount Memo
1/1/2008 Bank of America Checking 500 Deposit
1/1/2008 Bank of America Checking -200 Check #111
1/1/2008 Bank of America Saving 400 Deposit
1/1/2008 Bank of America Saving 150 Deposit
1/1/2008 CitiBank Checking 50 Deposit
1/1/2008 CitiBank Saving 100 Deposit

How can I SUM the AMOUNT column based on the unique values in the Month,
Institute, and Account Type columns?

The Summary result I am hoping for is:

Month Institute Account Type Balance
1/1/2008 Bank of America Checking 300
Saving 550
1/1/2008 CitiBank Checking 50
Saving 100


I have been trying to resolve this issue and I am stuck! Any help would be
highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
