Preparing Data for Pivot Table
My goal is to create a Pivot Table by Buyer, PO#; summing on total invoice.
Ex.: Buyer#1 120 PO#1 20 PO#2 100 Buyer#2 350 PO#3 50 PO#4 300 The raw data comes from a credit card download which has lots of empty columns and rows. What's the best way to efficiently format the download data in preparation to create a pivot table? Download ex: Account Number Date Invoice # PO# Store Buyer Status SKU SkuDesc Quantity Unit Price Ex Price Sub Tax Total Invoice 99006773958 8/1/2008 918742 2484 KRAMER DENNIS CL 14406 PFJ QTRD 106 11/16"X11/16 PC ($4.37) ($21.85) EA ($1.97) ($1.97) ($21.85) ($1.97) ($23.82) 99006773958 8/1/2008 936183 DIANNE 186 SPENCER ERIC CL 21687 36" RB 9-LITE 2 PANEL RH 1 EA $137.18 $137.18 3969 WOOD SHIMS NELSON 14PC.PA 1 EA $1.09 $1.09 44906 JH 10 OZ LN HEAVY DUTY 1 EA $2.27 $2.27 126142 BOS 16G 2" FINISH NAIL 1 EA $8.92 $8.92 1 EA $7.47 $7.47 $149.46 $7.47 $156.93 99006773958 8/1/2008 901329 SCOTT 2484 BENDER AARON CL 128508 R13 3 1/2X15X32' PERF COM 1 BA $12.67 $12.67 1 EA $0.63 $0.63 $12.67 $0.63 $13.30 |

If they are, you should be able to use Data | Text to Columns to break up the data into columns/fields. If you have blank columns, you will either remove them or type dummy column labels in the first row. Then you're on your way to a pivot. |
