Hi

MOD(COLUMN($A3:$P3),4)0
will return True for all of the columns that are not Quarterly Values
The double unary minus -- coerces True to 1 and False to 0
Therefore the values for the columns you want will all be multiplied by 1
and will therefore be included, whereas the values for the Quarterly figures
will be multiplied by Zero, and have no impact upon the final result.

Hi

I can see that the MOD expression identifies columns devisable by 4 but
how
does the SUMPRODUCT ignore these from the range? I'm guessing its the use
of
'--' which I have not worked with before.

still struggling to follow how Bob's works - but it does which is what

really important.

Try this

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN($A3:$P3),4)0),--(COLUMN($A3:$P3)=MATCH($A$1,$A$2:$P$2,0)),$A3:$P3 )

Hi

From a previous post I was provided with a formula to provide a
year to
date
total from a table based on the month I entered in A1.

=SUM(OFFSET($A3,,,1,MATCH($A$1,$A$2:$L$2,0)))

Jan Feb Mar Apr May ................................
Dec
1 1 1 1 1 1
.................................. 1
2
3

This has worked fine but I have now been presented with another
table
which
has a sub total column which I need to take out when the MATCH
includes
certain months.

Jan Feb Mar Jan-Mar Apr May June Apr-June July
...........
Total
Total
1 1 1 3 1 1 1 3
1 ............

If I use the original formula when I enter Apr the sum includes
Jan, Feb,
Mar and Jan-Mar. I need a formula which removes or ignores Jan-Mar
for
Apr,
May and June and when I get to July will ignore/remove Jan-Mar ie
July
entered in A1 should give me 7 not 13 which the original formula
does.

I hope I have made this clear enough and appreciate any assistance.
