You can obtain a unique list of advertisers on a separate sheet by
using advanced filter - Debra Dalgleish shows how he

(scroll down to Filter Unique Records). Then to obtain the spend for
each advertiser you can use a SUMIF formula like this in B2 of the
summary sheet:

=SUMIF(Sheet1!A:A,$A2,Sheet1!B:B)

and copy this down for June. A similar formula for July would be:

=SUMIF(Sheet1!C:C,$A2,Sheet1!D:D)

Hope this helps.

Note: worksheet contains 10,000 rows, some advertisers in JUNE are not in
JULY stats & vice-versa. what i want to do is consolidate the advertisers in
columnn A without repeating anyone of them with corresponding JUNE & JULY
stats to get the variance per advertiser and i have to do it as fast as i
could to meet the deadline. can anyone help me on this, thanx.
