sumif maybe?
lets try again.
Column Headers are (B1:P1) Staff 1 Staff 2 etc A2:A27 is a date range (fortnightly dates range called "Date") B2:B27 are figures relevant to the dates for Staff 1, staff 2 (C2:C27) etc I need to find the total value of the figures for each month. I have January, February etc in C31:N21 (to December) and require the totals for each staff member for each month. Staff members listed B32:B61 Staff1 figures are named "Staff1", Staff2 are named "Staff2" etc. what formula can i use? TIA Esra |

I appreciate your efforts in answering posts to this newsgroup, I understand you probably dont have to, but Bob, I dont need 'abuse' either. I have been polite with you, please be so with me. Dont "tell" me, ask me. You get better results with sugar than you do with vinegar. I see you finally answered my post, I guess because you saw this one.

I am not getting uptight, I am just telling you how to conduct yourself in a
sensible manner if you want us to continue to give free help, we are under no obligations to help, and it is up to you to conduct yourself in a manner that does not antagonise those that you seek help from. Multiple threads does not fit that description IMO. If you think I was being abusive, I think you must have led a very sheltered life. I was direct, but certainly not abusive. And check the times on the previous post, you will see that all of my posts in that thread are before your first post in this. So you clearly decided to ignore my comment and open a new thread for what reason I know not. I will now bow out, I wish you well in your search for a solution, but I will not be participating in seeking it any further. -- __________________________________ HTH Bob "Esradekan" wrote in message ...

Firstly Bob, what does IMO mean?
Secondly, everybody must 'learn' how to post, wether its top or bottom, seems trivial to me but if thats your preference i will do so. Thirdly, I simply was just trying to explain myself a bit better, wasnt it your words "but I do not understand the deetails." Therefore I dont see the problem. Your comment to me was one of TELLING me, not asking me (therefore abusive in manner) which of course I would have done had the roles been reversed. How do you know if I know about ettiquette or not? Only fair. But thats OK Bob, I will take the blame for what went wrong - a simple case of misinterpretation of what you said. Guess it happens when we are a global society huh?

IMO = In My Opinion. The thing with multiposting is that sometimes you spend a lot of time and effort to help someone with a complicated problem, you post it only to discover that the OP (original poster) has post the same question again where 2 other people have spend considerable effort and maybe time as well to come up with the same answer. I can tell you it doesn't feel good. You shouldn't post again unless you don't get any answer at all in maybe 24 hours. All people in these newsgroups/forums do it for free and are not in any way associated with Microsoft. Secondly by posting the same question twice you will screw up the indexing somewhat for the search engines that other people can use to find the answers. Since most of the regulars are using newsreaders your original post won't disappear the same way it does in a web forum. You are not the worst offender far from it, some people think it is a marvelous idea to put URGENT in the subject line and post the same question in multiple newsgroups/forums that really ticks me off. Anyway hope this help in your understanding of why some regulars (and Bob is certainly one of the most knowledgeable and frequent posters when it comes to answering questions) get somewhat irritable when people multipost. Here are some hints and tips done way back but still current. http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/newposte.htm -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Esradekan" wrote in message ... Firstly Bob, what does IMO mean?

Thank you, all I can say is "most informative",,,and of course I will
