good morning
Excelchat Expert

I am trying to figure out how to calculate monthly sales from the date column (ex 01/01/18) and the revenue column
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:23
I ensure you for the full solution however I need to check your data first
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:24
Yes, So for this you should be using Sumifs formula where we will using Data Range as a Criteria and Revenue Column as Sum. So for that particular data range you will get the sum

If you want, I can create this formula for you in your spreadsheet or on any dummy data
User
08/10/2018 - 01:24

Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:25
Thanks for providing me this file. Let me have a look
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:25
I have opened your file. Please advise, where do you want me to put this formula
User
08/10/2018 - 01:26
in the MONTH column
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:27
But this is your database and we need to have specific month or data range to get the Sum
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:27
Shall I create a separate tab for you where you can enter date range and get the total respect to that particular date range?
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:28
You there??
User
08/10/2018 - 01:28
I am not sure what you mean
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:28
In month range, do you want to calculate the sum of revenue?
User
08/10/2018 - 01:28

User
08/10/2018 - 01:28

User
08/10/2018 - 01:28
sum of revenue per month

Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:29
but we have 12 months and you have multiple rows. That is your database actually
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:29
Shall I create a separate tab for you and there you can get monthly total revenue?
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:29

Excelchat Expert

You should check Monthly Revenue tab
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:36
You need to enter the year for which you want to check Revenue on a Monthly basis
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:36
Once you enter the year, you will be able to see the Revenue Sum for that Respective period
User
08/10/2018 - 01:37

Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:37
I used Sumifs formula to calculate the Revenue.

User
08/10/2018 - 01:39
or really comprehension problem
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:39
yeah tell me
User
08/10/2018 - 01:39
so ..how do I capture all the information in one column
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:39
Okay is it related to the same problem which we were discussing or it is something else?
User
08/10/2018 - 01:40
same
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:40
What information do you want to capture in one column?
User
08/10/2018 - 01:40
the monthly sales
User
08/10/2018 - 01:41
you put it on another page - which I love but they want it in one column
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:41
Okay. So that information will be repeated, if the same month date occurs in date Column
User
08/10/2018 - 01:41
okay....let me back up for a second
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:41
So for example, if you see A2 and A3 cell on Salestable tab
User
08/10/2018 - 01:42
the column on the worksheet - MONTH should contain the monthly sales
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:42
Those are same month's date. So month column will repeat the Revenue total.
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:42
I will do that but are you comfortable using the repeated information
Excelchat Expert
08/10/2018 - 01:43
Please advise
User
08/10/2018 - 01:45
