AboutStuart Resnick Expertise I can answer questions relating to MS Excel formulas, or to programming with vba (Visual Basic for Applications) in the Excel environment.
Please follow the following guidelines: your question should focus on one specific issue you want to learn. It's beyond the scope of this free service for me to create entire projects or complex vba solutions for you from scratch. You should be able to do most of the work yourself, and come here when you need help with a specific point you're stuck on.
ALWAYS include a simple, concrete example illustrating what you want to learn. Explain this example in detail in the text of your question (what data is in which cells of which sheets, etc). Be very precise about the results you want, using this sample to make the logic clear. Always keep these examples SIMPLE. Never e.g. use 18 worksheets in your example if using 2 or 3 will do. Never use ranges like AI567:BB865 if using a range like A1:B3 will do. Thanks.

QUESTION: I want to know one formula for two inputs & result is one.
please see this example.
1.In my company have three persons - Jhon, Smith & Jakie
2.They are doing sales individually.
3.how can i make a formula calculate their sals daywise.
4.i tried with SUMIF. but with this i can calculate for one logic. it is only for name otherwise for perticular date. IMAGE: formula
ANSWER: Following the example file you attached, with the data in B3:D20, and results in the table G3:H4, do as follows.
as an ARRAY, which means after typing in the formula, instead of hitting Enter, hit Ctrl-shift-enter.
Then copy the formula to G3:H4.

QUESTION: Thank you very much for the answer.It is working nicely.Now the second thing is if i am going for yearly calculation how can i change the formula? It means now in F3 month instead of date. Please help.see the example image.

Eran IMAGE: formula for year
QUESTION: Thank you very much for reply.Just i realize i forget to enter one more detail to my chart.Now it is 3 logic.if it is possible please answer to this also.Now if jhon and Smith selling differant items, in differant days how can we take item wise in particular date.please see the example image.
Answer If you understand the concept behind my previous 2 answers, you can adapt it to any situation, adding additional items by imbedding still more IF functions within the array formula.
If you have trouble understanding the complex array formulas I've given previously, there's a simpler method that I'd highly recommend. Until you're comfortable manipulating array formulas on your own, it's best to use SUMIFs instead. Here's how you'd do that.
In cell A3, enter the formula:
=C3&MONTH(B3)&D3
and copy it down col A as far down as your data goes. This col A can be hidden from the user by using white font, or by hiding the entire column. Once the Col A formulas are in place, then it's simple to get whatever data you need using SUMIFs.
Example: if cell H2 is jhon, cell H3 is cd, and cell G4 is Oct-08, then in H4 you'd use the formula:
=SUMIF($A$3:$A$26,H$2&MONTH($G4)&H$3,$E$3:$E$26)
You can use this concept whenever you want to sum based on multiple fields. That is: create a hidden column to concatinate the fields upon which your sum is based, then use that column in your SUMIFs.
