You might try using the built in Autosubtotals in Excel. It keys off of a
change in the description. Sure beats having to write code. "Sam Carleton" wrote in message ... I have been programming for a few years, about 8, now in other languages, like C++. This is my first endeavor with Excel and need some direction. My wife has a business that she is just starting up which is one of those home show business. I created a quick spreadsheet that allows her to enter her numbers for a show on one line and it would show the total profit in the last column (I#). I am them summing up that whole colume for a running total of profit. The first colume has the date (A#). What I would like to do is create a VBA sub that will go row-by-row and create monthly totals which would be placed in J# where # is the last row for a given month. I can pseudo code it, but I cannot figure out how to actuallly code it. Can someone help me out? Is there a better approach? pseudo code: Sub SubTotalMonths() var lastRow var currentRow var currentMonth var monthTotal currentRow = first row on active sheet lastRow = currentRow currentMonth = get month from cell A of currentRow monthTotal = 0 while cell A of row is not nothing if currentMonth < get month from cell A of currentRow Then set cell J of lastRow = monthTotal set currentMonth = get month from Cell A of currentRow monthTotal = 0 End If monthTotal = monthTotal + value of Cell I of currentRow set lastRow = currentRow set currentRow = next row down in the sheet wend set cell J of lastRow = monthTotal End Sub Another part of my goal is to have a spread sheet that my wife can simply enter the number and not have to worry about formating each cell, nor copying down the formula's from the row above. How would I go about doing that? The basic idea is that there will be data i rows 3 through 23, my wife will enter a new row in 24, then click on one button to update the monthly totals and to do the formating and calculations of the new row. I do not want her to have to havve anything selecting of cells, or anything. Is there a better way to do this? Sam |
