Hey there, newbie here. Having a data sheet named 'Wines' using a vlookup
table for the sales, I have sales sheets for each day (1st, 2nd..) that work
with dropdown combination boxes when something is claimed. It's a simple
setup.

Is it possible to create a graph from all the products sold that month (from
each day sheet) by product selection? Is it a pivot table I need? How to?
Really need help on this one.

Example:
From August, day 1-31, 20 products named Redwine Classic, 31 Redwine Risling
etc were sold and were selected from the sales sheet using vlkup from the
datasheet tally up sales that day in value. But I would like to graph these
51 sales that MONTH in another sheet and be able to choose what products I
want to graph. I need Redwine Classic to be graphed only or grpah all
products sold that month.

How in the earth do you do this???
Be very helpful on how to do.

Regards Sean

A pivot table would let you filter by date, group dates into months or
quarters, or filter by product name. It might be worth spending a half hour
with pivot tables, to learn how powerful they can be.

I have a simple intro to pivot tables on my site (written mostly by Debra
Dalgleish) which also includes links to other PT resources:
