Hey guys u seem to no ur stuff but erm the problem is i got an accounts worksheet which has weeks and the total sales coloum. there is just 2 coloumns in this worksheet. The sales revenue and week date is taken from the sales worksheet where daily sales are entered. I need to no how excel will group the sales figures by week and paste the week and the sales revenue in the accounts file. Also if say another sale is done and £10 is entered the sales revenue from the week will change automatically.
Cheers. Thanks for the info. v grateful!

Add a 3rd column ('Week Num') to your worksheet. The value of this column is determined by =WEEKNUM('Week Date'). Create a PivotTable with your list as it's source and summarize Sales by 'Week Num'.

If you don't like reporting by week number after creating your PivotTable group 'Week Dates' in blocks of 7 Days.

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.

i look in format cells date. but there is no week option!

I assume that you're trying to use PivotTables as Mark suggested.

WEEKNUM is a worksheet function, available only if you activated the Analysis Toolpak via Tools|Add-Ins.

It is used like in

=WEEKNUM(A1)

where A1 houses a date.

Thus, it is not a formatting thing.

im not using a pivot table. what ive got is an Accounts workbook. This has 2 columns "Week Date" in coulumn A and "Total Sales Revenue" in column B. I would like to know how excel will enter the week date automatically and then get the total sales revenues from the Sales workbook by adding up and grouping the sales by week. Plz accounts is about 30% of projects marks.

Activate an empty cell, type =, select 10 rows of data from A and B (that is, select A1:B10), hit F9, copy what you see, and post it in the follow-up.

"Select" is not a function; it's an action that you yourself must carry out.

Sami, if what Scott is suggesting satisfies your requirements you might want to use the following instead...

=TEXT(A1,"mm/dd/yy")&" - "&TEXT(A2,"mm/dd/yy")
