    How to sum every x amount of columns?

    Hello,

    I have entered daily visitors and in a spreadsheet, with each cell representing the amount of visitors by day (b3 = 100, c3 = 50, d3 = 20 etc). The date for each day is entered in row 2 (b2, c2, d2, etc...)

    I would like sum this data weekly and monthly in cells and display it on another sheet. When I try using =sum(a3:h3) then I drag it horizontally, the next cell shows (b3:i3) when i want it to show (i3:o3), how can i do this?

    I would also like to show in a different cell, the month to date totals. For example on July 14th, I would like the cell to tell me all of my visitors in July.

    Thanks!

    Thank you very much, this worked greatly for the weekly total!

    Do you or anybody else know how I can do the same but for monthly and month to date totals? That formula won't work since there are different amount of days in each month.

    I have attached a sample spreadsheet. Row 6 shows the week ending date, I would like to know the month to date totals ending at each weekly date and also have the count reset (row 8) once the new month starts


    I have 2 attachments, can't figure out how to delete one of them... please use sampledata1
    Thanks!!!

    I should solve this with an pivot table.

    See the attached file.

    I rearanged the data so i can easily use them for a pivot table.

    Re: How to sum every x amount of columns?

    another option for the weekly totals is to use =weeknum() on each day (in a helper row - I used row1), and then use...
    =SUMIF($A$1:$T$1,27,$A$3:$T$3)
    you can reference 27 (the 27th week) instead of hard-coding to make copying across easier
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
