Greetings all. There may be a simple solution to what I need to do, but I
could not find it in terms I could understand. I have linked sheet2 to a
database view with various data. The view lists a job number, and types of
cable needed for each job. My problem is that my users do not want to see
the job number for every type of cable. For example my source data looks
like this:
JOB# Cable_type Footage
1 LT 24 1000
1 LT 48 500
1 MT 144 500
2 LT 24 1000
2 MT 216 500
On Sheet1 I want to add a column header for each type of cable, then sum the
footage from the footage column on sheet2 where the cable type = sheet1
column heading. Is this possible?
