Hi all

Please refer to the following sample data for an example of what I am trying to do

Date Name Amoun

14-Jan-04 Simon 500.0
24-Jan-04 Tanya 16.2
1-Feb-04 Clement 452.5
10-Feb-04 Tanya 12.5
....
The results I would like to get is as follo
Month Name Total Amoun
January Clement 0.0
January Simon 500.00
January Tanya 496.7
February Clement 452.5
February Simon 0.00

Hi yann!

Try:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT($A$2:$A$6,"mmmm")=A10),--($B$2:$B$6=B10),$C$2:$C$6)

Hi Norman

I've got it to work. Previously i was using the range i specified is the whole column $A:$A. Now i've specified the range of $A$1:$A1$00 and it works
May I ask what's does "--" in the formula mean/does

Thanks you v. much

Hi Yann!

The double negative has the effect of coercing returns of TRUE and
FALSE to 1 and 0.
