OK I have a sheet that is a database where I have a col A is the date, col D
is the earnings.

What I want is to sum the earnings in col D subject to a range of dates.

sum(d4:D9999) where a4:a999=2009/6/1.and.a4:a999<=2009/6/30

So far I have experimented with conditionals and it keeps choking on me.

Once I have the formula, I wanted to cut and paste it into a different
sheet. Then I wanted to make a row for each month so I need something that is
easy to tweak for the rate range.

Thanks in advance for any advise.
