Yeah, I know it can get pretty tedious unlike Access where after you have
your data in a table you can just run a query and viola......report.
However, without using another program, the simplest way in EXCEL is to
design your own......i am not sure what you need exactly but sometimes you
can find some pretty good templates at the Microsoft Office website.

Yes, that helps. Thank you. I was hoping to stay away from designing things
in excel, but maybe that is the best way to go. Thanks again.

I guess the easiest way to do this in EXCEL is to add a worksheet to your
workbook that you have your source data in and then create a "template" for
the data, basically creating your report. Then just link your data back into
the corresponding cells from your source data. you can format your cells any
way you want them to create any type of report look.......does that help?

I want to design a report using an excel spreadhseet as the source data.

Can anyone suggest the quickest, and cheapest, way to do this? I do not
want to purchase Access.

Is there a quick-and-dirty alternative to accomplishing this?

Thank you.
