sumif maybe?

[Esradekan]

lets try again.

Column Headers are (B11) 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

Dont get uptight Bob, maybe if you had of answered my earlier post, I
wouldnt of thought that i wasnt so clear with that post and wouldnt
have decided to post again, trying to be clearer.

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.
Im still no further ahead with this and your right, your solution did
not work.

Still TIA,
Esra

 

[Don Guillett]

Bob is absolutely correct in that you should stay in the original post.
Also, please top post. We answer questions here on a purely voluntary basis
and, if you want answers, you need to learn how to fully explain your
question the first time, with a layout posted and before/after examples. You
do yourself NO good by berating the person trying to help you.

If your date column is really dates and you only want the month then delete
the year part of Bob's formula. If you want for one then add that parameter
to the formula.

If desired, you may send your workbook to my address below along with
examples as stated and I will try to find time to take a look.

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.

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.

Both methods have merit. IME, in technical discussions the latter is

But what about the thought that if you read the 'whole' of the posts

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 piss 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 pissed 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.

Esra, I'm not pointing this at you.

Placing a new paragraph /below/ the existing one is the way we all
write, with the exceptions that when writing on usenet or email many are
compelled to write the new paragraph /above/ the old ones. Why is this?

I think in rapid-fire electronic conversation top-posting works because
anyone involved in the discussion easily remembers the context; they do
not need to look through the history to understand what's going on.

On the other hand, these conversations are being committed indefinitely.
Someone may come across this conversation weeks or years later. If they
read this message from the top-down, they will easily understand my
position when they read these words. Had this conversation been all
top-posted, they would have to read the story from the bottom-up. How
natural is that?

I'm not just talking about this post, of course. This is just me
explaining why I prefer this over that, which admittedly is completely
off-topic here and I should and will stop soon.

What I am talking about in a larger sense is how we carry on
conversations in this and similar groups:

A question is asked.
A clarification is requested.
A clarification is provided.
A tentative solution is proffered.
Solution doesn't work. More information provided.
Another solution is offered.
Problem solved. Thanks!

How would you prefer to follow this discourse?

If it were top-posted all the way, at the top you see a solution with no
problem. You would have to read through the messages from the bottom up
just to understand the problem and the evolution of the solution. It's
not natural. At least, that is my view.

 

[smartin]

for some time.
