sum based on multiple criteria

[mucah!t]

Hello all,

is it possible to sum the numbers in collumn B:B that are between the words "Date" and "Employee" in column A:A. like in below example.
See cell D1 and D9.

Note that it only needs to do so for only for the cells beneath it till the next "employee" in column A occurs.

Excel Workbook
	A	B	C	D
1	Employee			28
2	Dept.
3	Date
4	1-Jan	12
5	2-Jan
6	3-Jan	14
7	4-Jan	2
8	5-Jan
9	Employee			31
10	Dept.
11	Date
12	1-Jan	3
13	2-Jan
14	3-Jan
15	4-Jan	9
16	5-Jan	9
17	6-Jan	10
