Pivot/SUMIF Help

OK -- Rather then asking too many individual questions let me give an example for the Numbers experts (I am coming from many years of Excel)

Imagine the above sheet with many more lines, up to 12 months (obviously) and many more Categories. I am looking to build reports, by month, by category, with subtotals for Amount at the Category and the Month Level. Hopefully a report that I'll easily be able to also create charts/graphs from.


In the Excel days, this is all very easy using Pivot tables --- not such the case with Numbers but I'd like to learn from example and use Numbers if possible.

I tried to post a picture of the spreadsheet I am working on but this discussion board won't let me. I get this message: You are not allowed to create or update this content.


So I will try to understand your post above. How is a single sumifs statement contained in one cell able to create the entire spreadsheet called Table 2 in your example? How did the formula populate all of column A, for example?


Whenever I try to write a sumifs it only fills in one cell with a number. I can't figure out how you guys are getting that single statement to create an entire table.
