Starting next week, PHD is going to feature a 30 post series on spreadcheats. The purpose of these posts is to make day to day spreadsheeting a breeze. Each post will be less than 200 words in size and aspires to make your day at office a little bit more productive.
I have already identified around 25 simple topics for discussing like: relative vs. absolute reference in functions, chart formatting, printing and sharing workbooks etc. But please feel free to drop your suggestions on what you would like to know. I like learning and sharing new stuff and your requests can motivate me to do that.
All the posts in this series will be tagged with “spreadcheats“. Once the series has a meaningful number of posts, I will create a seperate page where you can get all the links and discussion in one place.
Watch out for the first installment on next week. 🙂

How did you arrive or formula when you ask me who made more sales Jackie or Jamie?? I could not figure the formula out yet??
@Frank
You need to sum up the sales for Jackie and compare them to the sales of Jamie over the same period.
The practical parts depends on how and what data you have and how it is arranged.
But it will either involve a Sum, Sumif, Sumifs or Sumproduct to accummulate the sales for each within a specified date range.
