vlookup over range of dates

Hello.
I am making a spreadsheet using excel 2003 to calculate sales and tax.
Column B is formated for date (1/1/2010). Column D,E, and F are formatted for currency with column D=Total Price, column E=sale price, and column F=tax. In column B I type the date the transaction took place and in column D I type total price. Columns E and F are automaticly filled in with the formulas for same. In column H,I J row 9 I would like to calculate 1st Quarter Total Price, Sale Price, and Tax. Row 10 would hold 2nd Quarter info and so on. I searched for info but can't come up with any thing that works. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

See attached example using SUMPRODUCT and Pivot Table (sheet2)

I recommend you do not put summary data in the same columns as your source data.

The simplest way to do this is to add a column that gives the quarter, then use SUMIF to total the columns for a given quarter. I have attached an example. It is possible to do it without adding the extra column but I think this makes it clearer.
