I’ve got a spreadsheet with two columns that represent the number of processed records, and the date the records were processed. In some cases, the records can be processed in multiple batches, so the document looks something like this:
33 4/1/2009
22 4/1/2009
12 4/2/2009
13 4/4/2009
36 4/4/2009
I’m trying to add a new set of columns that contain a date, and shows the total number of records for that date, automagically:
4/1/2009 55
4/2/2009 12
4/3/2009 0
4/4/2009 49
I know how to do this algorithmically, and I could probably manipulate the spreadsheet outside of Excel, but I’m trying to do this in the live spreadsheet, and am a bit bewildered as to how to pull it off.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Will the SUMIF function work for you? SUMIF([range],[criteria],[sum_range]) I think you could set range = the set of cells containing dates in your first listing, criteria would be the cell containing the date in the second listing, and sum_range would be the counts in the first column of your first listing.
