Summary Sheet

I have a work sheet where I record daily costs for each item used.
I have a seperate summary sheet which I want to show that days cost for an
item and a cumulative total for each item. I have tried VLookUp but cannot
seem to get it to roll on each day

Any help would be appreciated
 
John,

You don't say how your sheets are laid out so I am assuming that dates ate
in Column A, Items in Column B and Amounts in Columns C.

For today's total for a Item 1:

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A125=TODAY())*(B1:B125="Item 1")*(C1:C125))

For the Cumulative total for Item 1:

=SUMIF(B:B,"Item 1",C:C)

Note that SUMPRODUCT() cannot use whole columns but SUMIF() can.

Sory should have explained more

Items are in Col A
Dates Run across the columns D,E,F,G etc

The Items are split into sections, at the bottom of each section there is a
total for that day and a cumulative total. These are what should be shown o
the summary

Thanks
 
Hi John,

I am still having trouble visualising your data.
The Items are split into sections, at the bottom of each section there is
a
total for that day and a cumulative total.

Does this mean that you have a label at the bottom of each section saying
something like "Total Item 1"?

If so then with "Total Item 1" in A2 of your Summary sheet and dates in row
1 from B1 onwards then

=VLOOKUP($A$2,Sheet1!$A$1:$J$24,MATCH(B1,Sheet1!$A$1:$J$1,FALSE),FALSE)

worked for me.


If it will help you can send me a sample workbook with dummy data for
confidentiality

My wife says that I expect people to know what I am thinking without me
telling them!

When I said send me a sample workbook I meant privately by changing my
e-mail address as it says in my signature. (mailinator.com is a spam/virus
trap site that holds e-mails for a few hours and then deletes them)

Hi John,

try with SUMIF function or with SUMPRODUCT.

If you don't give us some more details about your data and/or your workbook
it's quite impossible to say you more...

Just to round off the thread here is the reply I got from John privately:

Thanks for the prompt reply it is most kind

I think I have come across the solution

I followed what you said and whilst doing so I noticed that the Report
Number on the Summary sheet kept getting highlighted - this is set at "1"
Along the top of the details sheet there are Report Numbers - I changed the
number on the Summary sheet to a random number (28) and hey presto the
summary sheet was completed - simple if you know how. Problem is nobody
told us the easy way

John
