How to summarise a Order Form
I have created a simple list of items that is used as an order form for the
goods we supply. The list is organised in such a way a to be easily navigated when placing an order but the items are actually located in many different places. I wish to create additional summary sheets for each location that show just the items that are kept in that particular place. I am familiar with the 'IF' command but not sure if that the best command to use for this particular task. Any assistance would be much appreciated. |

How to summarise a Order Form
I'm not to clear on what you mean by "the items are actually located in many
different places." can you give some sample data? like what is on each sheet and where and where it needs to go? -- -John Northwest11 Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful.

How to summarise a Order Form
Hi John
Below is an example of the sort of thing we use. By location I mean where they are physically kept and therefore although the items appear together on the order, I wish to create further lists of items stored in same place. For example 'Dry Foam' & 'Gloss Black' may be located in Warehouse 1; 'Carb Kleen' & 'Grey Primer' in Warehouse 2 and all other items in Warehouse 3. I want to generate a list to be sent to each respective warehouse for the items to be picked. Hope this now a little clearer.

How to summarise a Order Form
Ok, I see what you are talking about, how do you tell from that data what is
stored where? Or is it on another sheet? We should be able to do this pretty easily. -- -John Northwest11 Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful.

How to summarise a Order Form
Hi John
There is no reference to the actual storage location on the Order Form itself as it is not relevent to the purchaser when placing order. The additional 'Location Sheets' would be hidden from the purchaser, for recovery when we process the orders. We could perhaps add some form of identifier to the product code to assist sorting? At present the Order Form we use is made up of 10 sheets within a workbook with 1 hidden summary page for the whole order. At present the goods are essentially stored in 1 place so sorting a requisition is easy, but soon there will be 4 different locations and we wish the 'sorting' to be done automatically to ensure accuracy and speed. On the current summary sheet we use the 'IF' command to determine whether the item has been ordered or not and therefore shown, however the problem for us is how to direct orders on the Order Form to specific summary sheets. I hope this all makes sense. Thanks Grahambio "John Bundy" wrote: Ok, I see what you are talking about, how do you tell from that data what is stored where? Or is it on another sheet?

How to summarise a Order Form
I see. Sounds like if you put an identifier on say the item number that told
the location such as a -1 at the end you could populate the 4 different sheets with an if statement. e.g if(right(A1,1)=1,A1,"") and on the other sheet if(right(A1,1)=2,A1,""). -- -John Northwest11 Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful.

How to summarise a Order Form
Thanks for info. I understand the method you suggest but for clarity can I
ask if there is any formula to 'send' information to another sheet rather than have the other sheet 'ask' for the information? For example say if an order is placed for a particular item, it is then 'forwarded' to another sheet. Also, do you feel there is any better way to achieve what we are looking for if we started again with the whole Order Form from scratch? Thanks Grahambio "John Bundy" wrote: I see.

How to summarise a Order Form
The best way to do it would be through code, you can't send info to another
cell with a function but you could build an order form and when you click say a submit button, each item would poplulate on its respective page. Your order form would probably be fine the way it is layout-wise, you would just need to add an indicator for where it is to be stored. You can e-mail it to me if you want and I'll take a look when I get a little time. -- -John Northwest11 Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful.
