sales by department and week
Hi all, I'm in a bit of a quandry, the formula I was using for this has now created issues in the limit of formulas allowed in a spreadsheet, so I was looking for a simpler way of doing it..

Basically, we input sales into a spreadsheet for 4 departments
we enter the following:
sale amount
postage amount
the department
if the order is tax free or not
and the week number.

I have created a basic spreadsheet with the results I'm looking for, the spreadsheet must be able to hold a minimum of 1000 sales orders.

I'm looking for a decent formula that will help for calculating Columns J, K, L and M for each department.
Many thanks for any assistance, really appreciated.

Craig

following is a solution to the problem -- note that I have made a few changes in the layout of the user's sheet to make the use of formulas easier

  2. Hi Craig:

    Boy ... it must be way past midnight for you. Get some rest and when you look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow morning, let me know how it goes.

    Cheers!
