Add per dates

[Annette]

I can't figure out how to read a date in a formula. In my column I have the
format set as mm/dd/yy, but the formula is looking at MMM and it is not
converting.

I want to add sums of money based on month, not mm/dd/yy and I think that is
where I'm faultering.

Here are details:

cell d1 = May
col c = dates (ie, 05/03/06)
col u = amounts

I want to add all the amounts that fell during the month of
May. How do I write this? THanks!

Annette,

Try using SUMPRODUCT

=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(C1:C5)=5)*(U1:U5))

Where 5 is the month number. Change accordingly for different month
(Jan = 1, Feb = 2....Dec = 12)

Try this...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(C1:C{x})=D1), (U1:U{x}))
..
All you need to do is alter cell D1 to be the number value of thwe month in
question May = 5, December = 12 etc...) and replace the {x} with a number
equal to the number of rows you have.

HTH.

These work provided there is information in the cells. Is there a way to
provide this so that I'm including blank cells and they will add those as
data is entered? (Say the formula should cover up to row 100.)
