Don, I disagree (see my dissertation response to Esra if you care), but it's cool. I do understand the bother factor, it just doesn't bother me so much. Enjoy your weekend! |

Well, everyone can relax, I have sorted it out. Thanks so much to the people who helped me. Ended up redesigning the workbook, but was worth it.

sumif maybe? [OT]
IMO (to use one of your guys terms), I thought I did, but not being
genius with excel, obviously not. It shouldnt of mattered where the cells were I would of thought, I could have adapted any formula to suit. All I did believe it or not, was put in an extra column, converting the dates to read the months, then the SUMIF formula worked. I named the column with the months "Date" (ie 14/4/2008 = April, 26/5/2008 = May) and used that as the criteria for the formula. But like so many things, obviously I am wrong, just like putting your email address in an email Don. But ty anyway.

You know something, I have learnt a thing or two here this time around. I was relatively new at posting here, just for the odd thing now and again. I post using google and during the process of viewing the posts, I displayed them differently. NOW I can see the merits of top posting. It does make sense. I also never meant to **** anybody off and it wouild seem I have done that. I always treat people how they treat me. So if your one of the people I have ****ed off, I apologise. Hell I never even knew the subject line had been changed of the thread (OT). Im still learning and i guess I always will be learning. I do though, still need a simple formula. I have changed my worksheet around to be more 'user friendly', but the original problem still exists, cells I can change to suit. Im not very experienced like you guys in Excel, but I do have that knowledge to do that. I hope that someone can qustill help me. Again, TIA Esra On Aug 30, 9:44 am, Esradekan wrote: But what about the thought that if you read the 'whole' of the posts to see what has been happening - so to speak - its natural to read the original post first, at the top, and then following posts after that. |

Don,
I think Esra mentioned in an earlier post that he was using Google Groups to view these posts - everyone's email address gets some degree of protection on GG, so that might be why he couldn't send the file to you.

TY pete, I knew I wasnt losing my marbles totally.
I didnt expect anyone to use a number in their email address either. My old mother told me years and years ago, do not assume, it makes an ASS out of U and ME. Guess I shouldnt have assumed with email addresses.

Top-posting has been the widely accepted preference on the Excel newsgroups for some time. http://www.cpearson.com/excel/newposte.htm .... And from that referenced article: '10 If you're following up to a previous post, you don't need to include everything. Snip out what's not relevant. But do include what is relevant. Some people may have missed the original post.' Note the part about snipping. If top-posters EVER snipped ANYTHING, it's news to me. But top-posters are the kind of people who are choosy about which rules to follow. Those that support their innate laziness are just fine. Other rules which might require effort and/or thought are for other people. Top posting may be preferred by most respondents, but only because most respondents use Outlook Express or web portals that default to top posting. It'd take a little work to delete the entire preceding thread, it'd take a bit more work ONCE to disable automatic quoting, and it'd take some thought to snip portions of the preceding thread. It seems such little effort and/or little thought it beyond the capacity or incliniation of top-posters. If you're going to top-post, why quote at all? There's always Google for the preceding thread. If you quote, then you should do so for the context it provides, and the only way it provides USEFUL context is if the context PRECEDES the response. |
