Can I change a column of calculated numbers to absolute numbers?
I want to create a summary report from a one year detail report. I have 12
months of data, but I want to total it, sort by the totaled number and get rid of the detail data. How can I make my sums, or move my column of sums into a column of absolute number so I can delete the detail, sort by the remaining totals, to clean up the report? |

1) add your new column with the sum in it
2) copy it 3) edit paste special values 4) now the values are fixed you can delete the detail and move on -- Allllen "Kate Bissell" wrote: I want to create a summary report from a one year detail report.

My preference would be to use the data as the source for a pivot table
(depending on the structure of the data). When you say that you have 12 months worth of data, I assume that you have dates associted with that? If so then in the pivot table you can group on the data field and select Month to aggreate the amounts by month... If you need help with the pivot table just ask... -- HTH...
