Drag down Series - excel

I have an Excel workbook with multiple Sheets month wise(i.e Jan, Feb, March).
Data are arranged like
January in separate sheet and February in Separate sheet.
Now in summary sheet I would like to add = JanA3+FebA3+MarchA3
And the next entry in summary will be = JanA6+FebA6+`MarchA6
When I drag that formula in Summary Sheet, it is not coming automatically.

You can't tell excel to change the reference by 3 rows when you only move the formula one row.
You can write a macro to do this or you can fill the formula down until you get the result you want and then delete the cells between and shift the cells up. The reference will remain as you want.

using sumifs from multiple sheets in one work book

i have an excel workbook to keep track of expenses with several tabs. all tabs have identical columns : A - store, B - type, C-amount, D-date. on a new sheet i want to sum all expenses for each type and each month. (example: type food for Jan. type car for Jan. and same for Feb. etc.
You seem to have the consistency required for a 3D formula. Group your sheets and write the SUMIFS formula you require for that sheet in one sheet (or ungrouped, write in one sheet and copy to the same cell in each of the other sheets). Then ungroup (if grouped) and aggregate these results in a sheet of your choice with something like:
=SUM(a:z!J2)
where a is your first sheet's name, z your last sheet's name and J2 represents whatever cell you chose for the SUMIFS formula.

Excel create a summary using a drop down, obtaining data from another sheet using sumif formula

I have a spread sheet I've been working on and would like to create a summary sheet within the workbook to make it more user friendly (avoiding using VBA)
I want the user to be able to select a month (1-12) from a drop down in the sheet named "Summary" and the data to be populated from the "Actuals" sheet.
Currently I manually update the formula:
"=SUMIF(Acutals!A:A,Summary!A5,Acutals!B:B)"
and move the "Acutals!B:B" along a column when I want the next months data (January = B:B, February = C:C, March = D:D etc.).
Can I use the indirect function and sumif (to find the correct account description) to refer to the drop down in cell B1 on the Summary Sheet and link that to the correct month column on the Actuals sheet?
=SUMPRODUCT((Acutals!$B$5:$M$200)*(Acutals!$A$5:$A$200=$B5)*(Acutals!$B$3:$M$3=$B$1))
unlike SUMIFS, SUMPRODUCT can be used on multiple columns but cannot reference whole columns eg A:A.

formula to count blanks in a new row every day

I want to count the blank columns in a row, but only for today's date. I figured using COUNTBLANK was the best option but I cant see how to increment the rows.
I uploaded a snippet of the summary sheet that we're using. Within the workbook there's about 20 sheets that need daily updating, and I wanted to have a cell that lets the user know if they omitted entering data into a particular cell.
The cells on the summary sheet aren't actually blank, they all have VLOOKUP formulas in them.

carrying over values from one column to another in a pivot

I would like to be able to carry over the Total for each month in a pivot to the next column:for instance the total calculated for each item for Jan will then be carried over to the next column as the opening inventory for Feb. Is this possible? IF so how can it be done
It sounds like you could use some simple cell reference formulas, but your question is a bit vague. It looks like you want to use data from a pivot table of ending product inventory as the start of February's inventory.
If you're literally just trying to copy the contents of one cell (Your monthly totals in a Pivot Table) into another, try this:
In the cell you are looking to populate with data (We'll say Feb 1st is in cell B2, and January 31st is in cell A2), type the following : =A2.
This tells excel that the contents of B2 are equal to the contents of A2. You can then copy that formula throughout your sheet. You can also do this by selecting the cell you want to populate, type =, then click on the cell you want it to equal. This is useful if you're pulling data from a pivot table, even if it's on another sheet. The formula would end up looking like this
=GETPIVOTDATA("Pivot Table Column Header",Sheetname!$Cell,"Row Label","Row Item")

Excel dynamic array formula

I have a workbook with 11 sheets for each month, and one summary sheet.
On each sheet is a list of website in column A between A2 and A13, and in column B are some values taken from those website.
The individual Month sheets look something like this:
HOWEVER, it is possible that the information may be in a different order, so I have had to use MATCH to find the row where I want to get the data from.
The summary sheet looks something like this:
I want to build a formula that will sum all the values across the 11 worksheets for each website.
I tried to use INDEX and MATCH like this:
=INDEX(January!$A$2:$B$12,MATCH($A3,January!$A$2:$A$13,0),2)
Now this works for January and copies down for all the web-sites ok, but I'd like to SUM all the worksheets without adding the formulas?
How can I do something like this across all the worksheets?
It seems a bit naff to just add a plus sign and write eleven formulas in each cell
Create a named range (eg) SHEETS containing your sheet names (in a column)
In B3 on your summary sheet:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT(SHEETS & "!A2:A11"), A3, INDIRECT(SHEETS & "!B2:B11")))
and fill down
