Hi, all. I'm not real robust on complicated excel logic, and so I'm not sure if I can do what I want or not. here's the scoop. Excel 07, windows XP Pro machine. I'm making my own budget sheet, and I have a table setup with date, cost, & category. I have a list defined with all these categories, and then I sweep the table and sum the ones for my totals. for example. home category consists of two items, so the total is
=SUM(SUMIF(E:E,"home Improvement",D:D),SUMIF(E:E,"Furnature",D:D))
some categories have one item, some have more.
Now, I am trying to break this down by weekly spending, so I tried to filter by date first.
=IF(DAY(A:A)<=7,SUMIF(E:E,"Salary",D:D),0)
this just returns the entire month's salary and puts it in the week column that I am in. What I am looking for is to have my total columns off to the side, and I want it to first filter by day and then sum. I tried
=SUMIF(IF(DAY(A:A)<=7,(E:E,"Salary",D:D),0))
trying to drive the if to push the sum, but it doesn't like it. I can think it out with code, but I always have a hard time translating that to excel formulas. It would go like:
For (all items in stack)
If Day <= 7 and Category = Salary
wk1total = wk1total + salary
If (Day > 7 and Day <= 14) and Category = Salary
wk2total = wk2total + salary
etc
Suggestions? Thanks!
