Need to know what formula to use
I'm creating a spreadsheet in which I want to enter data and have the date
entered be used to separate the information so I can total it. For instance, all entries made in January are totaled, and February, etc. So that I can produce a monthly report and then a yearly total. I have been trying to figure this out for days! |

Yes, the date is in the cell, like 1/1/07, but when I look at formulas, it
has a number that the program assigned to the cell "bj" wrote: do you have cells with the entry date? if so, what is entered?

If the dates are in column A and the numbers to be summed are in column C, one approach is to put =MONTH(A1) in B1 and copy down to the end of the data, then put =SUMIF(B:B,ROW(),C:C) in H1 and copy down to H12 (for 12 months). Modify to suit. Hope this works. |

It didn't work. Perhaps it would help if I put some of the columns for you
to look at. Column A states the marital status, Column B has date of visit, Column C is empty (to put in the formula I need) Column D has a zero or a one depending on whether the criteria in Column A is met. For instance, Column D is a 1 only if Column A is "Single", Column E is a 1 only if Column A is "Married", Column F is a 1 only if Column A is "Divorced", etc. If the criteria for Column A is not met, then a zero is entered in the other columns. I need a formula that looks at Column B, decides what month each visit was in, and then adds the total number of 1's in each column that falls in that month. In the end I need all 12 months listed with the total number of Single, Married or Divorced in each month. I sure hope this helps and really appreciate your trying to help me.

Hi Cindy
You only need columns A and B. Mark your range of data in columns A and B, DataPivot TableFinish On the new sheet that appears, with the PT skeleton drag Date from the Field List to the Row area drag Status from the Field List to the Column Area drag Status again from the Field List to the Data area Right click on DateGroup and OutlineGroupchoose Month and Year There, you have your report. -- Regards Roger Govier "cindy" wrote in message ...
