    Month over Month Formula

    Hello All,

    See attached. Book4.xlsx

    I am trying to compute a formula that will look total up the Amount in Column B for the previous month and list what the difference is in the month previous to it.

    Example

    Today is 3/11/2015. I need a formula that will compare the previous month (Feb) to the month prior to it (Jan) and show what the difference is in $$. However, on April 1, 2015, this formula should compare March to Feb.

    Does that make sense?

    I got it to work in my demo but not in my massive spreadsheet! Can you please try revising the formula so it will work with the attached?

    I have positioned everything so I can drag and drop your revised formula right in!

    See attached Book4.xlsx

    Re: Month over Month Formula

    It is not adding totals correctly. See attached. Book4 (1) (1).xlsx

    My table in Orange shows what the month over month results should be. Any advice?

    Look for Act Code 3501.

    Feb total -$851
    Jan total $1251.75
    Month over Month that should be a $2,102.75 difference.

    I cannot upload my spreadsheet. Too large. Here is a snip of the back end.

    Re: Month over Month Formula

    ... those Feb values are not in the book 4 file you provided. most likely the sumproduct formulas just need to be expanded to cover your entire dataset. the data in book4 uploaded has 19,395 rows. change the number 19395 to however many rows are in your dataset?
