Do you want the sum total of *all* the DEC months or just a specific year?

Excel2007 vlookup columns, return value from different row
No, just need to find any Dec month, and report the 'year end' total. The
Dec month could be in any column. This is what I am using for just the Dec 2010 total, ?? is where I am stuck in pulling the correct colum. VLOOKUP(40544,'Acct growth'!$D$1:$BL$5,??) Thank you EG "T.

Try this for Dec 2010

Excel2007 vlookup columns, return value from different row
I don't think MATCH function works here. Perhas my question was not clear as
the table was misaligned. Depending which column Dec-10 falls, total to report could be 6, or 9 or 8 and so on. Vlookup located the column the Dec-10 is on, but I can't get it to report '9' to be the value. Thank you. D E F ..... Q.......... 1 Nov-10 Dec-10 Jan-11 ...

Excel2007 vlookup columns, return value from different row
Don't you just need to lookup "total" ?
=VLOOKUP("Total",'Acct growth'!$D$1:$BL$5,MATCH("Dec10",TEXT('Acct growth'!$D$1:$BL$1,"mmmyy"),0)) You could use something much simpler based on the dates. What are the TRUE dates of your column headers? Dec-10, what is the TRUE underlying date? I assume it's just formatted to appear as Dec-10.

Excel2007 vlookup columns, return value from different row
To be able to use a generic date we have to use another function:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH('Acct growth'!$D$1:$BL$1)=12),--(YEAR('Acct growth'!$D$1:$BL$1)=2010),'Acct growth'!$D$5:$BL$5) To give it some flexibility, use cells to hold the date criteria: A1 = 12 (for Dec) B1 = 2010 (for the year) =SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH('Acct growth'!$D$1:$BL$1)=A1),--(YEAR('Acct growth'!$D$1:$BL$1)=B1),'Acct growth'!$D$5:$BL$5) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "EG" wrote in message ... wow. the Sumif function worked beautifully.

Excel2007 vlookup columns, return value from different row
Wonderful, this worked!
How would the formula change if I want to sum by year of row 5 (ie; all the 2010 totals & the 2011 totals etc), instead of just reporting the Dec-10 value.
