I have a spreadsheet set up with a column (a) with cost; (b) bill date and 12
columns for each month. I need a formula that will pull (a)the cost into the
correct month column based upon (b)the bill date which would be within the
range 1/1/07-1/31/07, etc for each month.
I tried so many different formulas but non seem to work...
=if (b) =1/1/07&1/31/07, (a),0

Hi Tricia

If you use date in row 1 as column headings from B1 onward like
C1= 1/1/07, D1 =2/1/07 etc. and then format theses cells with
FormatCellsNumberCustom mmm
they will show as Jan, Feb, Mar etc.

Then in C2
=IF(MONTH($B2)=MONTH(C$1),$A2,"")
Copy across and down as necessary

Hi Roger,
There is other info involved in the spreadsheet. What I want the formula to
do is when I key in the bill date, it will move the cost to the correct month
column where the costs will be calculated.

How do you have your 12 columns for the months identified? A date like
1/1/2007, 2/1/2007, 3/1/2007? A *TEXT* heading like Jan, Feb, Mar?

Biff,
I have them labeled as January, February, etc... the other columns are Cost
and Date Billed.
Thanks

I just read your reply to Roger. What you want to do can't be done with a
formula. You want to "move" the data. A formula can only "copy" the data.
You'll need some VBA code to "move" the data. I can't help you with that.

Hi Tricia

The value from column A will be repeated in the column corresponding to
the month in column B.
Other columns will return null.
I thought from your original question, that was what you wanted to do.
If not, describe in more detail what you are trying to achieve.
