Hi Everyone,

Using Excel 2003. I usually use excel to make forms (glorified word
processing) I have recently started to paste data from an Access database
tables, and queries into excel. I would like to know how I should set up my
spreadsheet to show my data by month, quarter and then yearly. I want my
report to show an average percent for the month of April, May, etc then
other cells that show the percent per quarter.

I don't necessarily need you to tell me how to do it step by step because I
think it is going to be alot of steps. For right now, I have 2 sheets and
on the one I have the data and the other is my report with the months listed
and in the cell next to the month, I insert the average funciton then go
back to my 1st sheet and manually select the dates for each month. I just
need maybe some online examples of the reports excel can give and hopefully
there will be tutorials to go with it that maybe automatically can select my
months with one two swift clicks.

I need basic excel info and not the visual basic or macro way to do it.

Thanks,
Linda

I would suggest you create a pivot table. See this site for an overview and
even a video demonstration:
http://www.contextures.com/CreatePivotTable.html

Then see this site for help with arranging the pivot data grouped by months
or quarters.
