Hello Don,
I will do my best to explain. Can't send via email as it contains
confidential information.
B / (W)
P5
CATEGORY NEDC SEDC SCDC SWDC
RENT - BUILDING -4,329.58 34.50 1,340.00 6,703.81
RENT - EQUIPMENT 375.20 5,071.79 1,802.42 352.82
COMPUTER EXP / DATA COM -104.00 6.00 -105.00 138.00
UTILITIES 2,371.20 -379.00 -7,011.22 3,213.88

Here is a portion of a table that I use. Under the numbers is from two
other tables (AOP & Actuals). I use sumproduct to look for each category
(Rent) AND for each location (NEDC) AND what Period (P5), this is a drop down
for all periods. This is working just fine for me. Now, I would like to use
this format to encompass YTD numbers. The layout of AOP & Actuals tables are
similar to it, with the exception that the columns are by Period. If I
select P5, I would like to see numbers from P1-P5. The formula below is what
is behind the numbers I used as stated above.

Hope this helps. If not, let me know and I will try another method.

Thanks again.

Hello,

I have built a table with formulas similar to this. I need assistance on
how I can create a YTD table based on what Period I select.

=SUMPRODUCT(('2010 AOPII with Benefits'!$A$1:$A$248=F$27)*('2010 AOPII
with
Benefits'!$E$1:$Q$1=$C$3)*('2010 AOPII with
Benefits'!$B$1:$B$248=$E28),'2010
AOPII with Benefits'!$E$1:$Q$248)-SUMPRODUCT(('2010
Actuals'!$A$1:$A$302=F$27)*('2010 Actuals'!$E$1:$Q$1=$C$3)*('2010
Actuals'!$B$1:$B$302=$E28),'2010 Actuals'!$E$1:$Q$302)

NOTE: C3 is the Period that I choose from drop down selection.

Any help is appreciated.
