I have been trying to use :subtotlas, consolidate, IF, & pivottables to get a
spreadsheet of inventory #'s (same part # in various cells) and want to
aggregate/consolidate those to 1 record with a TOTAL QTY value that I can
then use to import to a program.

I have tried the if command and get no values
I have not been able to successfully use the consolidate function
the subtotals function kind of works BUT does not give me the summed total
on 1 line with the part # for export
And pivot table method returns a COUNT on the qty field NOT a sum of all
same part # ???

Suggestions please I am stuck

PARTNO QTY
aa 2
bb 1
cc 3
aa 1
cc 10
aa 6

I have a list like this of 9000 cells and want to aggregate the unique part
#'s into 1 line with part # and TOTAL QTY
So the result from above would be like:

aa = 9
bb = 1
cc = 13

Any detailed explanation on how to do this is appreciated. the closest I
came was using data/subtotals but even that was not right in that the TOTALS
line did not contain the TOTAL and I could not see how to get just the unique
lines with the total qty

My preference would be a pivot table. Place your cursor in the middle of the
source data somewhere and select Data|Pivot Table - a wizard will pop up. In
all likelyhood you can just select finish and it will make all of the correct
choices for you. A new sheet will be created with a pivot table on it. Drag
the Part numbers field to the left had column and the Quantity to the middle.
That shoud do it for you... for more info see

I cannot get the QTY output to be a sum of the part #, it keeps doing count
and the when i dbl click the QTY field in data and change to SUM it shows 0
in all cells?

I have tried to change this several ways and cannot seem to get it to work??

Help
