Hi Guys,

I have some excel sheets and have a question regarding grouping the data by
day.  I want to compare sales figures for each day of current month compared
to last financial year corresponding month.  The catch is that I dont want to
compare each date (ie compare 1st December of 2006 with 1st Dec 2007), I want
to compare data from the particular day (ie I want to compare sales figures
from the first monday of december 2006 to the first monday in December 2007.

I currently have a February Workbook.  It has three worksheets (1,
Comparison Sheet, 2. Feb 2007 data, 3. Feb 2008 data)

The two data worksheets have a format of..

Date   Day  Ttl Sales   Confec   Hot Food   Magazines  , etc

So I want the comparison sheet to take the values from the 2007 data and
then search through the 2008 data match the values by day (eg say the 5th feb
2007 is a monday and the 1st feb 2008 is a monday - I dont want to compare
both first of feb figures, I want to compare the two monday figures.

I was hoping to get something that looks like this...

Date   Day  Ttl Sales   Confec   Hot Food   Magazines  , etc

5feb07  Mon   4,500      800       2900        800       ...
1feb08  Mon   5,200      770       3430       1000       ...

5feb07  Tue   4,600      750       3150        700       ...
2feb08  Tue   4,200      800       2800        600       ...

Hopefully I have explained myself ok.  

The problem I am having is grouping the days automatically.  At the moment I
am having to put the cell reference in manually for each day.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi
01 Feb 08 is a Friday, not a Monday.

That aside, if you take the latest date and subtract 364, you will get the
equivalent day 1 year earlier

04 Feb 08 - 364 = 05 Feb 07
