I have 2 spreadsheets, one listing a list of sales, the other showing a
summary of sales by each month. how do i get the summary from the detailed
list by month.

Toppers

Assuming there is a date associated with each sale:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A2:A100)=6),B2:B100)

Column A contains Dates
Column B contains Sales

Above give sales for June (ignoring year)

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A2:A100)=6),--(YEAR(A2:A100)=2007),B2:B100)

Above give sales for June 2007

If you don't want to stretch the clairvoyant powers of the group, it might
be handy if you tell us what error message you're getting. Where in the
formula does the cursor sit when Excel reports the error?

What do your windows regional settings use for separators? Are you sure
that lists are separated by commas, or might they be semi-colons in your
system?

Glad it's sorted. Perhaps you could let us know why Toppers' formula wasn't
working for you and how you solved it, for the benefit of the group archive
and other readers who may have similar problems?

Change =SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A2:A100)=6),B2:B100) to
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH('Sheet 2'!A2:A100)=6),'Sheet 2'!B2:B100)
if you want to retrieve data from a sheet called Sheet 2.
