Custom Report
 

I keep a file with sales and totals of each sale on a daily basis. At the
end of each month we run a report showing the totals for that month.
I have a file in Microsft Works Database that shows monthly totals. How
would I make a report in Excel to Show monthly totals?

You could use a myriad of ways, but my suggestion would be either subtotals
(DataSubtotals...) or a pivot table (DataPivot table report or chart)

Post back if you need help with these

To summarize the data in a table, you can use a Pivot Table. There are
instructions in Excel's Help, and Jon Peltier has information and links:

After you've created the pivot table, you can group the data by month.
