Here is my scenario...
Say I have 5 columns of data and it goes down for 29 cells for the day in the month of february. Each day I am adding data to the next cell down. What I am wanting to do is have it automatically update the total at the bottom of the column when the data is entered. My problem is I dont want to add all 29 cells at the same time. Only for the cells when they are being updated.. If anyone has any sugestions or advice I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!! |

For each day that I add data I want it to automatically update the total at
the bottom. I know I can use AutoSum, but the catch is I only want it to update down to the current date. This is causing a problem in the cell that had all 29 days in it...

You can use the offset function to define the range you want to sum, in the
form of =SUM(OFFSET(your_range_defined)) you can find and explanation of how to use offset here http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/...umnChart1.html Sorry I'm short of time right now. If you need help with the offset function, post a new request and I'm sure someone will help you quickly. If you reply to this post I might be the only one who looks at it.

Bob,
Thanks for the response but its not what I am looking for unfortunately... Here is a new breakdown, maybe this will help you... Thanks NP Here is my scenario... I have a spreadsheet that I am tracking data in monthly, for each month I am comparing the data to the previous years data for the same timeframe. For example for the month of February I have Feb 1 - Feb 29 down in one column expanding down 29 rows (obviously). Heres the catch, obviously the data from the previous year is already filled in for all 29 days in February and they all AutoSum at the bottom of the column giving me the total of the data for the month of February. I am inputing new data everyday for the current month of February for this year, which I am also having autosum at the bottom of the column. The problem comes in when I am wanting to just compare the data "to date" in both the current year, and the previous year columns. I am wondering if there is a way when I add the new data to the current year for it to ONLY add to the same data in the other column for the previous year w/o having to change the formula on every column. Doing so I would like it to automatically add up like previously stated everytime I add new data to the current monthly data... Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!

Summing from the first of the month to today can be done.
Use the offset function with MATCH(TODAY(),"your_date_range",0)-ROW(point_to_cell_with_2/1/2006)+1 used to determin the number of columns in the range. Automatically transferring from current to last year when you enter is out of my league. Seems obnoxious to ask, you don't copy last year to a new column at the end of the year? You could still have the current column populated with 365 days of data, but the previous would not have to automatically populate "nparrott" wrote in message ...
