    Finding a specific cell in a spreadsheet

    Hi All,

    I am building a sales report, i have a worksheet with all my sales people's budgets broken down by month.

    A B C D E F G
    1 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun
    2 Jim 10 10 10 10 10 10
    3 Tom 8 8 8 8 8 8
    4 Bob 7 7 7 7 7 7

    In a separate worksheet i have a "sales wrap" and need to capture the budget for that sales person for that month.

    I also will also need to capture the cumulative budget for that sales person upto and including that month.

    Not real clear what you're wanting to do.

    Maybe this...

    Sorry for the confusion.

    You have found exactly what i want, for some reason though, I keep getting #N/A as a result. Is it something to do with the formatting of the months, i have them as text.

    I would also need to figure out the sum YTD, which ideally should show 24

    #N/A means that the formula can't find either Tom or Mar (or both).

    Are the month headers text entries or are they dates formatted to display only the month name?

    We'll work on the YTD sum once we get the lookup straightened out.
