Is there a function for a 'year to date' sum
I am trying to build an automated 'year to date' column in a financial
summary worksheet but don't want to have to update the formula each month (ie in month 6, sum cells A to F, then in month 7 change the formula to sum cells A to G). Is there a function (or group of functions) which will 'lookup' the current month e.g july and add up the contents of the cells in columns from A to G (Jan to July)? The following month when I input August in a given cell the function I'm looking for will recognise this and automatically add cells A to H (Jan to Aug). Hope this makes sense. Thanks in anticipation. |
Assuming the row you want to sum is the 10th row
=SUM(OFFSET(A10,0,0,1,MONTH(TODAY()))) "Mal" wrote: I am trying to build an automated 'year to date' column in a financial summary worksheet but don't want to have to update the formula each month (ie in month 6, sum cells A to F, then in month 7 change the formula to sum cells A to G).

If you have a sheet with calendarised figures (ie each month in a separate column - and it's a very good analysis tool to do that anyway) and a total in rows for the twelve months, then the YTD is done automatically, because all future months are blank!

Hello Mal: Cell M1 is todays date ( 7/20/2005 ). =SUM(INDIRECT("A:"&CHOOSE(MONTH(M1),"A","B","C","D ","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L"))) Matt -- Flintstone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flintstone's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=15310 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=388435 |
