John
That's good. You have a bunch of rows of data with the date in, I'll
assume, Column A and the method of payment in, I'll assume, Column B. I'll
assume this data occupies 7 columns. I'll assume you have headers in row 1
and your data starts in row 2.
Starting in Column J, I'll assume you have headers of Month, Fuel, Stock,
Phone, Stationary, and Travel. Under the Month header, you have the numbers
1-12 running down the column. You want, say Fuel, all the payments for fuel
in a given month to be summed and placed in the Fuel column in the
corresponding row month. The same for all other purchase types and months.
Is this correct?
I'm assuming that you are not asking for help with the Data Validation
(drop-down) setup. Is that right? HTH Otto
