SUMIF worked great, but now data is on separate rows. Need alt. method.

I'm making a workbook in Excel 2003 that tracks store sales & profit (see pic below). I have daily reports where the employee enters all the data & then I have a "Monthly" tab that consolidates all the daily data into a monthly report.

The monthly report uses this SUMIF formula to tabulate each category (Daily Sales, Daily Units, Daily Profit) for each line item:
=SUMIF('Daily - Jan'!$7:$7,'Daily - Jan'!$F$7,'Daily - Jan'!23:23)

This worked beautifully, until I realized that the line items will most likely change periodically mid-month, which will in turn mess-up my monthly SUMIF formulas because it expects the data to be all on one row.

I've racked my brain trying to figure-out an alternative method to tabulate data on different rows and per each category, but have not been successful.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks.

Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one.

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.
