Hi Shane,

Like I said, I want to minimize the amount of manual actions I would have to
perform, so i would say no, this couldn't work. Also, it's worth noting that
the values in the totals are already precalculated since the source data
comes from running a report in a different program.

Although, you might be on to something. Using the same data, let's say I
copy the ID Number from A2 to A6. If I do some kind of a vlookup on the ID
Number, is there a way to reference the last one, thus providing me with the
corresponding value in column D?

Hi,

It is unclear if you have the flexibility to clean the source data up or
not, but if you do could remove the blank & total rows, fill in the ID#'s and
Names and then you can run a SUMIF or SUMPRODUCT to get the totals to anothe
sheet.

Do you have that flexibility?

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Hi,

I need some help... Here is my data:
_____________________________________________
A B C D
1 ID Number Name Hours
2 10153 Joe 8
3 8
4 8
5 Total 24
6
7 10219 Bob 5
8 5
9 Total 10
10
11 10569 Tim 10
12 8
13 8
14 5
15 Total 31
___________________________________________

Basically, I want to copy the ID number, Name, and Total onto a separate
worksheet minimizing the need for manual data entry e.g.
10153 Joe 24
10569 Tim 31
etc.

Basically, I can copy the ID number onto the new worksheet and use a vlookup
to get the name. But I'm having difficultly referencing the Total since it's
not on the name row as the ID and Name. Any suggestions? Thanks!
