A few years ago, decided that instead of using a database to track customers
, I would use a spreadsheet because of all the calculations that are
necessary. It has worked very well so far. What I am having trouble with is
a form I have to manually generate. I use a pivot table to drill down to the
data I need then manually check that against a form I have generated.
From the pivot, I get the following:
Location
Group
Name, Count
Then, I have to add formatting to add a signature box for Groupings and
individuals that are not part of groups.
Ex
North
Smith
Jeff Smith 2
John Doe 4
Sally Mae 5
Total 11
Signature
Fred Derf 3 Signature
Roger Miller 4 Signature
Grand Total 18
I have tried to format my pivot table but it is not dynamic. I know I could
do this with Access but dont want to maintain 2 data sets.
