can a function do this?
Hi
In this function, i would like the cell to look at the current year and month. if this is the current month and year, eg may2006, if true, add up a list of names, if false eg mar 2006, keep the total that was counted when true. so the funtion needs to save the number counted when true and then keep it for when the junction is false. i have tried to do this without success. can anyone help? thanks |

No, you would need multiple cells for that as a cell cannot have a value and
a formula, one or the other, not both. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove xxx from email address if mailing direct) "jamie" wrote in message ...

thanks. but isnt that classed as circular?
eg. cell a1 has the function, the true total is saved to b1, then a1 = b2 if the a1 statement is false...

I don't think I fully understand what you are trying to do. Keep an example
of TRUE and an example of FALSE. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove xxx from email address if mailing direct) "jamie" wrote in message ... thanks. but isnt that classed as circular? eg. cell a1 has the function, the true total is saved to b1, then a1 = b2 if the a1 statement is false...

Are you saying that you want the formula to show April 2006 until May is
reached and then show May? -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "jamie" wrote in message ...

no, i mean each month has a serparate cell. when the next month starts, then
the following cell will count up how many names in the list and the previous month, that cell will keep the amount it had when true.

Based on the workbook you sent I really think you need a way to identify
when you put in the names. Then you could use a sumif or sumproduct formula to identify the number of names for that month. Or, are you saying that you start over with a complete list of names each month? This is all you have to count with no other identification for each name si marc dave hannah If so, just change the formula to a value, manually or with a macro -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Don Guillett" wrote in message ...
