Dynamic sum

[sahafi]

I have a list of data that I download every week. Product code in col A,
product starting date in col B (this is not a calendar date, it's a week
number: term1 week 1, t1w2, etc) So col B actually will have the terms from 1
to 13. Col C will have the weeks (1-4). Col D will have the sales values. I
need to sum the sales for 13 terms or 52 weeks. Each product has a different
starting date. Once the sales for the 52 weeks get summed, start summing the
next 52 weeks/13 terms.
How can I do that dynamically?

Thanks.

Make use of column E in your data sheet by using this formula in E2:

="t"&B2&"w"&C2

and copy this down to cover your data. Then in another sheet you could
have a table made up like this:

t1w1
t1w2
t1w3
t1w4
t2w1

and so on. Assume this is in column A, then in B1 of this sheet you
can have a formula like:

=SUMIF(Sheet1!E:E,A1,Sheet1!D)

and copy this down the 52 rows.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, But how would it know where to assign each value for each product
code? The formula as is will return zero.

Thanks.

You said in your first post that you needed to sum the sales for 52
weeks, but now you seem to want a breakdown by product code. Can you
give an example to show what you want to end up with?
