List of dates

[David]

Hi,

I have a list of Dates in Column A and a list of Rents amounts in Column B.
I'm trying to create a formula that will provide a rent for a specific month.
Here's an example:

Date Rent
5/1/2003 1400
5/1/2007 1800
5/1/2009 2150


i need a formula which will pull the monthly rent amount from 6/1/2006 thru
9/1/2009. I've tried a few arrays and sumproducts, but my formula's will only
see if the 5/1/2003 is greater than 6/1/2006 and since it's not i get an
error or it will only pull the $1400. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

Dave

I don't need a sum. I need the rent for that specific month. The rent amounts
that i put in are monthly rents and the dates are when they were changed.

Thanks!

I mean "Bout the FORMER".

Do you need the total or to display the amount of rent of a particular date?
The latter can be done using LOOKUP. Bout the latter, SUMIF(high date value)
less SUMIF(low date value) would be the simplest.

As long as your data is sorted in ascending order as is shown in your
sample:

Date Rent
5/1/2003 1400
5/1/2007 1800
5/1/2009 2150

With that data in the range A2:B4...

D2 = some date like 6/1/2006

=LOOKUP(D2,A$2:B$4)

Excellent -- This answers my question! Thank you greatly!
