Well, whether by pivot table or formula, you ABSOLUTELY must have repeating
entries in column A. If you want to use formulas, SUMPRODUCT()s will work.

Assuming you're trying to sum Analysis tasks and "Analysis" is in column A
row 2 and the 'week' date is in B1, use this in B2

=SUMPRODUCT(--(PROJECTSHEET!A2:A100=A2),--(weeknum(PROJECTSHEET!D2:D100)=weeknum(B2)),PROJEC TSHEET!c2:c100)

That may have to be entered as an array formula, by pressing
Ctrl-Shift-Enter. You may need to look up WEEKNUM() in help, too. There is
an otpional parameter that tells Excel what day of the week is the START of
the week, and you may need that to get the dates right

have repeated weeks - think this would be an issue for the pvit...

Any more suggestion regarding the formula option???
