Make a pivot table from the data. Put the dates in the row area and the values in the data area. Right click on the dates field button in the table, and choose Group and Show Detail, then select Group. In the Group dialog, select Month and Year. This gives you two columns for date, year and month. Drag the month button up to the column area. The result is a table with months across the top and years down the left side. If you have grand totals, your yearly sums are in the last column and sums for each month in the bottom row.

This blog is the best!!!

I have a quick question - I have to ad up sales numbers for the month of February only for the past 3 (three) years. My data columns are as follows (for example)
Jan 06 $23,000
Feb 06 $44,000
Mar 06 $12,000
.
.
.
Dec 06 $77,000
Jan 07 $55,000
Feb 07 $18,000
Mar 07 $23,000
.
.
.
Jan 08 $46,000
Feb 08 $22,000
.
.
.
etc

And again I am supposed to add only the sums for the month of February. The date column format is DATE(YEAR(X),MONTH(Y),DAY(Z))

HELP!!!!

Thanks,

Ryan

Presidents Day Sale – All pants half off!

Homer: Hey Marge, after your big tantrum against legalized gambling, I
bet it feels pretty weird to be in a casino.
Marge: I was for the casino.
Homer: Strike three, Marge! I remember that meeting and I have a
photographic memory.
[In Homer's memory, Marge wears a blue dress and has green hair.
She holds a rolling pin. Homer's arms are massive]
Marge: Legalized gambling is a bad idea. You can build a casino over my
dead body. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah, blah blah
blah blah blah.
Man: For you: it's the President. [tentacle hands Homer a phone]
Homer: Y'ello?
[back to reality] And then I said to the President

Funny, I thought Presidents Day was all about auto sales.

That's how I remember it too. And Debra talked me out of spelling like dix-clix. She said it was too porn-y. Why is she always thinking about porn?

As for the worst blog title, I was referring to the title of this post. I think PTS blog is a fine name. I've never liked that people refer to individual posts as blogs, and here I am doing it.

I went to the PTS Blog looking for a good deal on a mattress. I left, unfulfilled. I will never return.

Just kidding. I'll be back next year. By then, you will have learned that Presidents Day is all about mattress sales.

Hey Jon, if it's not too late, consider changing the directory name to something other than Wordpress (probably the default when you install). Something like peltiertech.com/blog/ might work.

BTW, I think I'm responsible for Dick's Clicks. At least that's how I remember it.

Come on, you had the benefit of a handful of drunken Excel MPVs to help you come up with Dick’s Clicks. (Drunken Excel MVPs, isn’t that redundant?)
