Do you know that while recording macros in excel you can use the relative reference based recording so that you can use your macro anywhere and the references would be adjusted automatically?
Yes!
I have learned this yesterday and I thought it is pretty cool.
Here is how you can make your macro VBA code references relative:
When you select “record new macro” from menu > tools > macros, excel shows a very little macro recording toolbar with a start button and another button. That another button is the one we use to toggle between relative and absolute references in macro code.
See this:
And the code generated by relative and absolute references is shown here:

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.
