Hi Guys

Im trying to figure out the largest amounts for a specific time frame, so the aim is to type in a date, and i the formula automatically populates the top 10 amounts in that time frame.

Cheers for the reply

instead of the dates being 01/09/2011 - can it still be picked up in this format Sept-11?

Thanks

 

[obiron]

yes, you would have to modify the formula to replace Start_Date and End_Date with a calculation that takes the Month and Year of the date cell and calculates the first and last date of the month.

Have a go at that yourself - its the best way to learn.

Hints:

the first day of the month is always 01/MM/YYYY
the last day of the month is always the day before 01/MM+1/YYYY (but watch out for year changes!)

Thanks for the feedback, it doesnt seem to be working for me - do you think this has something to do witht he format?

Assuming that "Sep-11" is a formatted date - presumably 1st of that month - (it'll show you in the formula bar) then you can still use the same formula that AlphaFrog suggested, are you looking for largest values in a single month or in another period?

What isn't working - can you post the formula you tried - what result did you get, an error or incorrect values returned?
