"Last 7 Days" running total?
 

Excel 2007
I have a list containing daily sales figures that is updated each day. I
would like to have a formulas that will total sales figures (column C) for
the last 7 days (column A). Figures are being added daily so the "last 7
days" will be constantly changing. Suggestions please.

Bob,

Your question isn't clear but if you want to sum the last 7 entries in
column C try this

=SUM(OFFSET(C1,COUNTA(C:C)-7,):OFFSET(C1,COUNTA(C:C),))

or to sum any date in the last 7 days

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5000=TODAY()-6)*(C1:C5000))

I missed your using E2007 so you can use full columns for the sumproduct
formula

Is this an auto-reply? It looks like it. The question is pretty straight
forward.

The formula works fine for me.
Make sure that you don't have any data in column A below the table of
dates. Also make sure that you don't have any dates in column A that
don't (yet) have any corresponding sales figures in column C.
If either if these conditions can't be fulfilled, please give further
information about the layout of your worksheet.

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke

Then your numbers aren't numbers, you have text in the range

If Max will excuse me commenting on his formula the reason it returns zero is
the same reason my formula returns VALUE, your numbers aren't numbers!!

No. It's because I have no idea of your layout. Often, when a solution is
presented a poster will come back and say "it doesn't work". This macro
should fix your numbers that aren't numbers.

Sub fixmynums()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'lr = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
On Error Resume Next
For Each c In Selection 'Range("a1:q" & lr)
If Trim(Len(c)) 0 And c.HasFormula = False Then
c.NumberFormat = "General"
c.Value = CDbl(c)
End If
Next

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

When I use the sum function it totals the cells okay. Doesn't that mean

Check your dates in col A. These should be real dates recognized by Excel,
not text dates. You can easily convert all text dates in col A at one go to
real dates using Data Text to Cols (with col A selected). In step 3 of the
wiz, under "Column data format", check "Date", then select the format of the
text dates from the droplist, eg: DMY. Click to Finish. Real dates will
respond when you say, format it to another date format via FormatCells.
Real dates are numbers, increasing chronologically. Hence the latest date =
maximum number in col A.

Do your dates in col A respond properly when you try formatting it to
another date format via FormatCellsDate (choose another date type) ? This
is one easy way to test it. Text dates will NOT respond to any kind of date
formatting applied via FormatCellsDate. Recheck, let me know the results
here.
