Thanks, Brian, that is a rather creative workaround. However, I need
separate figures for each month, even though the data is all in one
table. Your solution would require an additional twelve columns. While
this is possible, it would be ugly and make maintenance problematic.

In SQL, I am looking for (for February for example, but there will be
a cell for each month) (note dd/mm/yyyy format, not mm/dd/yyyy
format):
SELECT colC from TABLE WHERE colA=>01/02/2009 AND colA=<28/02/2009 AND
colB=="viscoplastic"
I would then sum the values of colC that I got back.

I know that Base would make this easier, but we are using data from a
d2a converter that outputs in excel format. Because of further
processing, it would be cumbersome to convert that to Base.

Note: I accidentally mentioned that the data is in mm/dd/yyyy format
when it is in dd/mm/yyyy format. Sorry for the error, that was after
going crazy with OOo's insistence upon using mm/dd/yyyy when we want
something else.
