you should use sumproduct. a sample:
=sumproduct(--(a2:a100=g2)*(b2:b100>h2)*(b2:b100<i2),(c2:c100))
where:
g2 contaim the item code that excel will check on column A
h2 has the start date that will be check on column B
I2 has the end date
and column c has the values that you would like to sum.
change the ranges as you need.

Thanks so much I'll try that. One other thing my boss wants---is there a way
to set it up so that you can double click on the result cell and have another
worksheet open with the info that it gathered like a pivot table does?
