Help summarising data based on date
Hi All, I have a spreadsheet which includes large sets of data, showing an account and the person responsible (managers) for it across many months. We wish to show some reporting on the number of...
- Hi Rajesh,
Thank you kindly for your reply. The same data i used i basic, so i admit makes it hard to illustrate the concept. To assist i will try and explain a bit further, for my data we have each month as a column. When we add new accounts we add a row. So a new account is active when the row goes from $0. 00 to any amount above this (as money have been invested now). So for this month a new fund has been added.
Sometimes we have people who already have accounts with us, but set up another one. So for example if we have a new account have funds invested (goes from 0 to anything above) we have a new account, and if the "Manager" isn't on our list (column B), we count this as a new "Manager". So if we have a new account and manager invest, we count this as a new manager and fund for that month.
Does this help at all?
Many thanks for your time and assistance.
kind regards,
How you are differentiating between New & Old Managers as well Funds since entries are straight forward Fund 1 to 10 and Manager 1 to 3 !!

- Hi Rajesh,
Thanks again for your help, very much appreciated.
I have had a look at the spreadsheet and just have a query regarding the old v new. Given my spreadsheet reports across a range of months, i would need a formula to determine the old v new. For example if a fund or manager is new in April, then it isn't new in the following months. Just seeing if we capture this. For logic of a new fund i think if the previous month is $0.00 then the next month is greater than $0.00 we can count it as new.
Then to show if a manager is new, the logic would be if the fund is new, and the "Manager" named in the row had no other accounts previously (eg any rows in the previous months with a balance above $0.). I believe this will show the new funds/managers in their respective months as they come in. Do you have any ideas on how i can implement this logic to help with showing the new accounts/managers?
Once again greatly appreciate your thoughts and assistance with this, and can discuss any details further. I have liked your comments and will show each like and best response as requested for you.
Many thanks,
