Hi

Provided each of your columns has a header title in row 1, it sounds an
ideal candidate for a Pivot Table report.
Take a look at Debra Dalgleish's site and scroll down to Pivot Tables
for assistance on how to set one up.

Ideally, I would like it to automatically update - if I put in a new
filter
number, it would be added to the sorted list with an occurence of 1,
or if I
add an already used filter to a new vehicle, it will add another
occurence to
the list. Am I asking too much?

Here's what I have:

A spreadsheet sent to me with a list of filter part numbers, with
each
vehicle having it's own row and each type of filter (air, oil, etc)
having
it's own column. I would like to create from this data a sorted list
of each
different filter part number, along with a count of how many times
that part
number is on the sheet. Part numbers contain both numeric and alpha
characters in some cases. It seems like something not so hard to do,
but I've
been bashing my head for some time!
