Hello there, I am trying to do a vlookup type function which will recognise
dates within a range (ie per month) and then do a sum function on another
column. Is it possible to do this, or do I need to write a macro? If I need a
macro how would I go about formuling the code?

Say you have dates in A1:A10, and amounts in B1:B10

You can write:
=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(A1:A10)=7)*B1:B10)

to get the summation of all amounts pertaining to the month of july

Try something like this in say, C1:
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$100= -- "1-Jun-2006")*($A$2:$A$100<= --
"15-Jun-2006"),$B$2:$B$100)

assuming real dates are within $A$2:$A$100,
with values to be summed in $B$2:$B$100

Adapt to suit, but note that entire col references, eg: A:A, B:B, cannot be
used in SUMPRODUCT
