Solution 1

Try something like this:

C++

while (1 == 1)
   {
   // get record from user
   if (no record entered)
      {
      break;
      }
   }

Solution 2

Ask the user how many month he will enter. Than you have the end count for the loop. Else the while loop is the best idea.

Think about a valid exit condition and how to test.

Sounds like a simple database solution. Given that the app enters data into SQL compatible DB, the following statement should do the trick without the need of loops of any kind:

SQL

SELECT SUM(sales_column_name) FROM table_name

with the table looking something similar to

SQL

branch_name | sales_column_name
--------------------------------
branch 1    | 5000
branch 2    | 3000

Etc.
