Default basic sum with a variable twist

Is the table reflected 'Goods-In' or 'Goods-Out' and what is the opening
'balance' IE of 32203.

If these are goods out, a simple - but very manual - way to do it would be
by Filter on part number which could autosum just the part number identified.
You would then need to take this number and manually deduct it from the
opening balance. DO NOT AUTOLINK THE RESULT as it will not return the right
answer for any part number.

Outside of this, I think you are looking at a MACRO that will read and sum
the entire sheet, creating separate sum iterationions for each part number.
This MACRO could then be run in real time each time there is another entry to
the table or as a batch process at the end of each day. Could be very time
consuming depending on how big the S/S is.

Hi,

I do not know where to start here so I will try to explain what I want to do.

I have a cell - Total Qty
- Remaining Qty

I also have a list which is updated each time stock is taken to show the
following
Product Date Amount
32203 21/10/2008 30
17747 25/10/2008 10
32203 30/10/2008 15
P14567 05/11/2008 50
32203 12/11/2008 20
As you can see the product and amount are variables and the list goes on
each time it is updated with info

What I want is to populate and update the Remaining Qty cell to be the Total
Qty cell minus any qty on the above list.

Therefore each time stock is taken we have an accurate read of the remaining
qty.

Hope someone can help here.

Thanks
Leanne
