Can someone help with this complex formula?

[My2Boyz9802]

I’m building a general ledger. I’m about 80% complete and need to now move into the final 2 pages (1. YTD Budget Summary which will pull from the 2. roll-up page).

I built the following formula;

=SUMIF('AP-24X7'!$P:$P,"="&(TEXT(C$5,"mmm-yy")),'SP-24X7'!$L:$L)

It seemed to work at first, but I quickly realized that it was not pulling information exclusive to both the date and to the object code. It would put the amounts that were exclusive to only the date in all the corresponding month columns across all of the object codes whether it was exclusive to that object code or not.

What I'm trying to do is;
Build a general ledger with multiple tabs that refer to 14 different cost centers. Each of the cost centers spend from 63 different "Object Codes" for Example 56200. I need to pull together into a roll-up page the summary of all expenses on a monthly basis spent in each object code, by each of the cost centers (A Net Roll-Up).

So ultimately I need to construct a formula that will go to all 14 worksheets look for exclusive data that refers to the date and also the object code (ie. 56200), and return the data back to my designated roll-up page.

Can someone assist me?

Thank you in advance!

Sorry about not including that in my new thread. I just figured I had royally confused everyone, and needed to start from scratch.

I tried your formula, it didn't work...I tried to finagle it that didn't work either, so ultimately I was looking for another angle.

Do you think I need to build a pivot table? If yes, I have no clue on how to do that. I've been working with Excel for well over 10 years and this task makes me feel as though I've never looked at this program a day in my life??

Maybe, but you will need to create a helper column to get the date part that
you are seeking.

Pivot tables - See http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot01.html
and http://www.peltierteh.com/Excel/Pivots/pivottables.htm
