I have a workbook with 2 sheets. The first sheet has a report for individuals
sales. Each row has a date then cust name then amount from left to right.

The other sheet has a table setup to do monthly totals to figure
commissions. First is the rep name then total sales for a given month then
commission percent then commission amount from Left to Right.

What I want to do is have the TOTAL SALES in SHEET 2 look in SHEET 1 and
TOTAL all sales for say any date that has a 7 as the first number (this would
be for JULY). Obviously I have other cells that will need to look and see if
there is an 8 (AUGUST) as the first date number and so on but once I figure
the first on out it is a simple matter of repeating the process.

Can I use an IF statement or is there a better way to do this.

You help is appreciated greatly
Thanks

I think you may need a cheater column with the formula '=Month(date)' and the
SumProduct function.

You don't mention the Rep's name in Sheet 1 so assuming that in Sheet 1:

Column A: Rep's name
Column B: Date
Column C: Customer Name
Column D: Amount

In Sheet 2:

Column A: Rep's name
Column B:
=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!A2:A200=A2)*(MONTH(Sheet1!B2:B200)=7)*Sheet1!C2:C200)

(ie A2 in Sheet2 is the Rep's name). Adjust the ranges to your requirements.
