Conditional Summing
I have, for me, a very complicated scenario and I am hoping someone can help.
I need to populate a table with the total number of work hours a person is responsible for on a given day. For example, I need to return the total number of work hours for Jones on 6/3/2008. My data looks like this: Task Name Work Hours Start Date End Date 1 Jones 2 6/2/2008 6/13/2008 2 Smith 1 5/26/2008 6/30/2008 3 Smith 0.5 6/4/2008 6/6/2008 4 Jones 5 5/30/2008 6/12/2008 5 Jones 0.5 6/9/2008 6/18/2008 |

Conditional Summing
With dates in column G and Jones in H1 and Smith in I1, copy this formula
into H2 and then copy across and down to fill the table. =SUMPRODUCT(($B$2:$B$6=H$1)*($D$2:$D$6<=$G2)*($E$2 :$E$6=$G2)*$C$2:$C$6) If actual data contains more names - add after 'Smith' and continue to copy...
