    I have a spreadsheet (xlsx format, Office 2007) which contains a list of
    dates (1 Jan 2019, 1 Feb 2019, ..., 1 May 2022) and corresponding
    electricity and gas usage per day for each month. Calculated per day to standardise for months having different numbers of days.

    list (but not the graph) with the latest date at the top of the list)

    The first column is a date field - eg "01/05/2022" in UK D/M/Y order - displayed as "mmm yyyy".


    I have graphed these in ascending date order, but I'd like also to be able
    to generate a list for the same calendar month for successive years. For example

    May 2022 12.2 1.7
    May 2021 11.5 3.7
    May 2020 14.6 2.8
    May 2019 8.1 2.1

    These can then be graphed, to show how usage has varied over the years for
    any given month (when the outside temperature will *tend* to be similar for successive years).


    What's the best way to do it? Maybe with a cell where the user fills in the required month, and a corresponding table of figures and hence graph is generated.

    The original list will gradually grow in size as each month passes - eg in a month's time I'll be adding readings for June 2022.


    I know I could manually generate 12 sheets (one per month) with the each
    year's readings for that month, and have 12 separate graphs. But that needs
    a bit more ongoing maintenance.

    I'm using Office 2007, though I have another PC that uses Office 365 if you
    can only give advice for that.

    create a new column in which you put the date of the last day of the
    month concerned by adding 1 month to your date 01/mm/yy and deduct 1
    day. Representation of those dates as mm/yy gives always the correct month.
